The miracle of embryonic development is mentioned in the Quran in such minute detail, much of which was unknown to scientists until only recently. It mentions the first stages of life after conception, the second stage of life after conception, and witnesses of scientists about these scientific facts of the Quran.

Quoting your quote which comes after your unacknowledged quote.
“We created man from an extract of clay. Then We made him as a drop in a place of settlement, firmly fixed. Then We made the drop into an alaqah (leech, suspended thing, and blood clot), then We made the alaqah into a mudghah (chewed substance)…” (Quran 23:12-14)

...extract of clay??? That doesn't sound "scientific" to me.
...chewed substance??? I sort of buy that one, we do have the expression 'spitting image.' Must be where it came from.

The last time I took a good look at my chewed gum, which I have to admit I don't do often.. I just stick it under the chair without looking most times, it didn't look anything like the one in the photo. I think that was a contrived photo!

You are too polite to say it Pedro. I am not.

It appears obvious that marshal86 has an agenda.

Does the Surah 23 mention the ovum? I don't see that, and if Allah had told Mohammad in accurate detail about human embryology, one would think that such an important element would deserve notice. The science of the Quran is accurate enough, for the 7th century, but those who would try to give it some sort of miraculous prediction of later developments in science have no basis in fact.

Just one example: In 23:14, the development of the fetus as described is not accurate. It has the bones developing first, then being clothed with flesh. That is not how a fetus develops.

Debunked here.

The account of the different stages in embryology as described by the Qur'an, ar-Razi and al-Quff is identical to that taught by Galen, writing in around AD 150 in Pergamum (Bergama in modern Turkey).

You're very welcome. To be fair I'd like to point out that there are plenty of Christian websites making similarly inaccurate claims concerning 'advanced science' in the Bible.
