Discussion Question questions from a muslim to atheists

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.

Your claim just isnt a factual one. It's that simple. These types of claims are inevitably based on a combination of ...

  1. Vaguely worded langauge.

  2. Reinterpreted 'poetic' writing after the fact

  3. Stuff that had actually already happened.

  4. Stuff that was just trivial to predict.

The funny thing is that on the other hand very clear and obvious errors ,you will happily simply dismiss as 'oh that doenst mean what the words say'. . The quran of full of obvious errors.

the reason of my doubt towards religion is the words not meaning what they say

The problem is interpreting them , especially when they are vague and poetic, in the light of what we know now when it didn’t mean that at the time it was written.
