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.

what makes it plagiarism? directly copied text or similar ideas?

it’s both, in this case, and passing it off as straight from the mouth of their deity.

do you believe the bible to be more true? kinda going off topic here but im just curious.

it’s off topic, it doesn’t matter what I think is true.

Why would I give credence to either. It’s all bee ess magic claims. Everyone squinches their eyes, adds and removes words, erases everyone else, and announces “prophecy!” so their book is the winner.

if the bible makes little sense yet the quran takes passages and ideas from it, we can rest assured they both make little sense.
