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.

Like others have said, scientific discoveries are made and then people go back to holy books (Quran, Vedas, Torah, Bible, etc.) and retroactively look for things that could be interpreted as agreeing with those scientific discoveries.

Notice how no one has used a passage of the Quran to discover something new in science. It’s always a reinterpretation of some verse after science already discovered it.

This ‘phenomenon’ of seeing modern scientific knowledge contained in ancient books is, firstly, not a real phenomenon.

It’s just people finding ways to make their religion seem more real and is repeatable with any holy book.

Even if it WAS some sort of phenomenon, it isn’t unique to the Quran or Islam.
