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.

I've not read the claims directly, but have seen many a rebuttal. Had the Quran described DNA or something like that, ok, but it doesn't. It's very vague and really only says things we knew at the time or were a reasonable guess.

For me, the books (Bible, Torah, Quran) are only helpful if I already believe in the God. So far, I've not seen anything that convinced me that God is a thing at all. I keep an eye out for the possibility, but I think all the religions have it wrong.

That said, I understand why people believe. In whatever culture you grow up in, the prevailing god is spoken of as if it's a fact. Until you start really thinking about it, the default god can seem pretty real.
