...to believe than those foretellings?
I will state just some of those miracles [in few minits] as an example(i advice all to search on the net for more scientific predictions in Quran):
Big Bang
When describing the creation of the "heavens and the earth," the Qur'an states the theory of the "Big Bang" explosion at the start of it . the Qur'an says that "the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit, before they were aparted:
Quran (21:30) {Have not those who disbelieve see that the heavens and the earth were joined together as one united piece, then We cloved them asunder} [cloved them asunder means separated them].
Expansion of Universe
this amazing theory was discovered in the 20th century that the universe is continuing to expand after the big bang explosion,,
this idea ; that the universe is continuing to expand. was mentioned in quran 1430 years ago : {and The heavens, We have built them with power. And verily, We are still expanding it} quran (51:47).
and this was 1400 years before the discovery of the big bang theory.
Therefore, Muslims interpret the description of a "six day" creation as six distinct periods or eons. The length of these periods is not precisely defined, nor are the specific developments that took place during each period.
After completing the Creation, the Qur'an describes that Allah {settled Himself upon the Throne} Qur'an(57:4), to oversee His work. which is also a distinct point from the Biblical idea that God rested from the work he done, as in : (God rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made). (Gen. ii. 2.)
whereas quran says that not even the minor thing touched God from creating the heavens and earth:
{We created the heavens and the earth and all that is between them in six days, nor did any sense of weariness touch Us} Qur'an (50:38).
Six days in Quran terminology
Qur'an states that {Allah created the heavens and the earth, and all that is between them, in six days} Qur'an (7:54). While on the surface this might seem similar to the account related in the Bible, there are some important distinctions.
The verses that mention "six days" use the Arabic word "youm" (day). This word appears several other times in the Qur'an, each denoting a different measurement of time. In one case, the measure of a day is equated with 50,000 years (70:4), whereas another verse states that "a day in the sight of your Lord is like 1,000 years of your reckoning" (22:47). The word "youm" is thus understood, within the Qur'an, to be a long period of time -- an era or eon.
