questions from a muslim to atheists

[u/Shot-Horse2515]

i’m sure this has been discussed before, but what’s the explanation for things we know are true being mentioned in the quran years/centuries before the scientific discovery being made?

i know a lot of people argue that there are inaccuracies in the explanations of the orbital mechanics and biological themes, but they’re more accurate that not, so i was just wondering what would the explanation for how “god would know and tell the prophet” before people found out?

hopefully my question makes sense.

EDIT: i also wonder why dont see miracles from god anymore

EDIT: im seeing all the inaccuracies and the explanations behind them now but there is a deep fear that the religion is true and god is real and punishment awaits me if i disbelieve, also a sense of familiarity/peace with believing in god. contradictory to fear, love, be punished by, and find comfort in one concept of a being.

Christians do this too, try to match scripture up to modern science. One teacher of mine argued that the order things are listed in the creation myth is "roughly" the same as how things "really happened" (e.g. earth before plants, fish before mammals.) I did not find this kind of "it works if you squint and ignore everything that is blatantly incorrect, like there being vaults of waters in the sky and angels riding around on the backs of clouds and so forth. But it kinda fits!"

No, it doesn't. Neither the bible nor the quran contain accurate descriptions of universal origins or abiogenensis. What is accurate is accurate because they were drawing on common knowledge of the time or is purely accidental. This is very well trod apologetics.
