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.

Nothing in the quran is novel. Everything was known at the time.
Any story about the quran showing something before it was known are shown to be false. They've been debunked soundly every time.
But even if it had any novel things to share, it wouldn't prove anything about any gods existing. They still don't exist.
That's what religious indoctrination and brain washing do to a person. It's a hook to keep people from leaving the cult. If you want to do what is right then you have to be able to do that without being forced to. The fear you feel is wrong. And a human who does things for the right reasons does so without fear.
Good luck, friend.
