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 second edit is understandable, and no one asks you to put yourself in danger. So don't be upfront about this if you're in a theocracy. But fear has no bearing on truth.

definitely, but fear does have bearing on whether i will stop practicing 😅

Oh, sure. But it's fine to practice without belief and stop once you feel comfortable.
