The Quran is a book from God

You did not understand me.

The points I mentioned are explained my the early Muslims in accordance to their understanding, but a much better understanding emerged with the progression of the sciences.

If the Words were of Muhammad, he would have know what he is talking about in these verses, but because the words were God's words he could only interpret the meaning according to his understanding. God left the explanation to be uncovered by the later Muslim to show them the miracles in it.

Most of the Quran is very well understood and the meaning is well defined even some verses would have more than one meaning such as the verse in chapter Joseph (Quran 12:4) "O father (his father Jacob), I saw in a dream eleven planets, the sun and the moon, I saw them all bowing to the ground in reverence and obeisance to me." - the meaning is his 11 brothers and his father and his mother and also it has another meaning that is 11 planets in the solar system and the sun of our solar system and the moon that rotate around the earth.

1. Can you -for example- explain the scientific meaning of "I (God) swear by the locations of the stars, and it is a mighty swear if only you knew" (Quran 56:75-76)

The words about Jesus christ are very clear and very much understood until today. also the words about the gospel and torah being forged, corrupted are very clear.

and if you read my comment, I said that the people did interpret the meaning according to their understanding.

Jesus in the bible mentioned that he do not know unless God made it clear to him.

I challenge you to tell me what you have understood from the above verse in the quran and I challenge you to explain what is meant by the other points, you will not know though you live in the 21st century - century of advanced sciences

But for sure the points I mentioned you did not even bother to look at them or to think about them.

The proof that the Quran is not the words of the Prophet but are the true words of God can be found in these points that are only explained by modern scientific discoveries

Look them up , think about them understand what are the meaning, and I can assure you will become a believer that the Quran is a book from God.
