Christians, how do you explain the predictions in the Quran?

MAN WALKING ON THE MOON!
And I swear by the moon when it is full, you will mount up stage by stage! What is the matter with them, that they have no faith? (Qur'an, 84:18-20)

THE CONQUEST OF MAKKAH!
Allah has confirmed His Messenger's vision with truth: You will enter the Masjid al-Haram [Sacred Mosque] in safety, Allah willing, shaving your heads and cutting your hair without any fear. He knew what you did not know and ordained, in place of this, an imminent victory. (Qur'an, 48:27)

Pharaoh's body would one day be discovered and be preserved!
We shall preserve your body that you may be a sign to those after you: although most men give no heed to Our signs. (Yunus, 10.92)

I'm not Muslim, but I'm wondering what you can say about these predictions that can't be said about the predictions of the Bible?
SanJose-- so you're saying that incredibly accurate predictions don't prove a divine source? so I'm guessing you'd never mention biblical prophecies as good evidence for the holy nature of the Bible.

It seems just as easy for me to say the predictions of the Bible come from a source other than God.
Soul of Wit-- salvific predictions are obviously not verifiable as "wordly" ones. this list is just proof of the accuracy, you should read the book if you want to know how to live.
 
None of these so-called "predictions" have anything to do with reality.
After all, what does "you will mount up stage by stage" have to do with the Saturn 5 rockets that took men to the moon?
Answer? Nothing at all.
 
I need to do something with my English I reckon, cause I see nothing of what you are talking about even remotely in those lines.

I swear by the moon when it is full... Like I swear on my grandma's grave. Does that mean we will rob graveyards or something?

the second one is talking about Muslims being able to go to mosques in piece if you ask me. I think that people see a lot of things they want to see in 'holy' texts.
