THE AMAZING Quran- (Book,Part- 9)
-Dr. Gary Miller
Skeptic's Reaction

Dr. Moore also wrote a book on clinical embryology,
and when he presented this information in Toronto,
it caused quite a stir throughout Canada. It was on
the front pages of some of the newspapers across
Canada, and some of the headlines were quite funny.
For instance, one headline read:
"SURPRISING THING FOUND IN ANCIENT PRAYER BOOK!"

It seems obvious from this example that people do
not clearly understand what it is all about. As a matter
of fact, one newspaper reporter asked Professor Moore,
"Don't you think that maybe the Arabs might have known
about these things - the description of the embryo,
its appearance and how it changes and grows?
Maybe they were not scientists, maybe they did some
crude dissections on their own - carved up people and
examined these things." The professor immediately
pointed out to him that he [i.e., the reporter] had missed
a very important point - all of the slides of the embryo
that had been shown and that had been projected in the
film had come from pictures taken through a microscope.
He said, "It does not matter if someone had tried to
discover embryology fourteen centuries ago.
They could not have seen it!"

All of the descriptions in the Quran of the appearance
of the embryo are of the item when it is still too small
to see with the eye; therefore, one needs a microscope
to see it. Since such a device had only been around
for little more than two hundred years, Dr. Moore taunted,
"Maybe fourteen centuries ago someone secretly had a microscope
and did this research, making no mistakes
anywhere. Then he somehow taught Muhammad (s)
and convinced him to put this information in his book.
Then he destroyed his equipment and kept it a secret
forever. Do you believe that? You really should not
unless you bring some proof because it is such a
ridiculous theory." In fact, when he was asked,
"How do you explain this information the Quran?"
Dr. Moore's reply was,
"It could only have been divinely revealed!"

Geology

One of Professor Moore's colleagues, Marshall Johnson,
deals extensively with geology at the University of Toronto.
He became very interested in the fact that the Quran's statements
about embryology are accurate, and so he asked Muslims to
collect everything contained in the Quran which deals with his speciality.
Again people were very surprised at the findings. Since there are a vast
number subjects discussed in the Quran, it would certainly require a large
amount of time to exhaust each subject. It suffices for the purpose of this
discussion to state that the Quran makes very clear and concise statements
about various subjects while simultaneously advising the reader to
verify the authenticity of these statements with research
by scholars in those subjects. And as illustrated by the previous
examples of embryology and geology,
the Quran has clearly emerged authentic.
