Scientific miracles in Quran

The Quran is replete with scientific information that became known to us centuries after the revelation of the Quran. In addition to the Quran's extraordinary mathematical composition based on the number 19, we find a large number of Quranic facts which are proven or theorized by modern science. Here are a few examples of such advanced scientific information:

1. The earth is egg-shaped (39:5, 79:30).
2. The earth is not standing still; it moves constantly (27:88).
3. The sun is a source of light, while the moon reflects it (10:5, 25:61, 71:16).
4. The proportion of oxygen diminishes as we climb towards the sky (6:125).
5. The "Big Bang Theory" is confirmed (21:30).
6. The "Expansion of the Universe Theory" is confirmed (51:47).
7. The universe started out as a gaseous mass (41:11).
8. Evolution is a fact; within a given species, evolution is a divinely guided process (21:30, 24:45, 32:7-9, 18:37, 15:28-29, 7:11, 71:13-14, Appendix 31).
9. The man's seminal fluid decides the baby's gender (53:45-46).
10. The earth was initially covered with water. Subsequently, the land mass emerged, and the continents drifted apart (11:7).
11. Worker ants are female (a feminine reference to the sentry ant is used in 27:18-19).
12. The sun and the moon each have their own orbit, as do other celestial bodies (21:33, 31:29, 36:40, 81:16).
13. The development of the fetus is described well in advance of modern medical embryology (22:5, 23:12-14).
14. The atmosphere provides a protective barrier for earth (21:32).
