It is a matter of statistics that you will most likely find something in a big book that will resemble some modern scientific hypothesis. There are so many possibilities on both sides (remember: you don't fix which scientific hypothesis you want to recover in the quran beforehand, and you don't fix beforehand where or how you expect to find it), and this proliferation of possibilities will ensure that you will find some coincidences that seem to match some scientific fact. That's why in real science such as physics, one needs to specify before the measurement what exactly the question is and what would constitute a "proof" (I am using this word very losely here), and only *then* are you allowed to make the measurement, and are forbidden to change the criteria afterwards.
So my question is are these statements that I made from the Qur'an, are they true, factual, statements? If they are not then all I'm saying is prove it to me. Show me why they're incorrect. If u can't then I just say u don't wanna believe which is fine with me. But its the truth and for whatever reason u just don't wanna believe it. It's as simple as me saying the sun is hot. Now it feels way and has been proven as such, but some people for whatever reason might not believe it. But if u can't prove it as untrue then ur only defense in why u don't believe it is because u just don't want to. Which again is totally fine
You have written so many pages, let's do it like this if you like: Would you isolate one single statement (not too long) from the Quran you think is a miraculous confirmation of a scientific fact, and maybe *briefly* give an argument why you think it is proof of your faith. Remember, as I said above, something being a scientific fact and something being proof that the Quran contains miracles are two different things.
I will then try and respond to that specific example.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
