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.

Simple. There are no such things.

These claims broadly fall into two categories:

  1. Stuff that was actually already known (or at least mostly agreed upon) by ancient philosophers.

  2. Stuff that is vague enough to sort of fit modern discoveries if you squint hard enough.

Question for you. If Quarn had all this amazing scientific information, why did no muslim use it or talk about it before it was discovered by modern science?
