"O mankind! If you have a doubt about the Resurrection, (consider) that We created you out of dust, then out of sperm, then out of a leech-like clot, then out of a morsel of flesh, partly formed and partly unformed, in order that We may manifest (our power) to you; and We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term, then do We bring you out as babies, then (foster you) that you may reach your age of full strength." (Surah 22:05)
If the Quran was invented by men who lived in such a primitive age, then, shouldn't there be at least a single scientific error in the verse above?
A single scientific error? I count FOUR!
1) People are not created "out of dust".
2) People are not created "out of sperm". People (and any other creature that reproduces sexually) are created when a sperm and an ovum join. And, actually, this kind of statement is EXACTLY what I would expect from people IGNORANT of how reproduction works! People could see the male ejaculate and assume that this is what produced a baby. They COULDN'T see the ovum! So, your attempt to demonstrate "scientific knowledge" in the Koran actually shows the COMPLETE OPPOSITE!
3) "A leech-like clot"? This describes a developing embryo to you? But a miscarried embryo would certainly look like a clot!
4) Neither a zygote nor a fetus is "a morsel of flesh".
This is your example of "scientific knowledge" in the Koran?
Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.
God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
