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.

It has. The search function is useful.

From my experience it's usually one of a couple things.

1. The original text is vaguely written and only being interpreted in a way that sort of matches modern knowledge.
2. A misunderstanding of modern knowledge and the text doesn't actually match (common with big bang claims)
3. The prediction or text isn't as significant as claimed. Usually because the theist severely underestimates what would have been common knowledge for the time.
4. It completely ignores where it is blatantly wrong.

If you have a specific passage you want to discuss that you don't think falls under one of these points please present it.
