Qur'anic scientific foreknowledge

A contemporary person who knows some science can make passages of the Quran superficially resemble scientific insights by manipulating verses that have nothing to do with science and trying to pigeonhole them into something resembling contemporary knowledge. Qur'an scientific foreknowledge (also known as Qur'an scientific miracles) is the idea that the Qur'an, through Allah's revelations to the prophet Muhammad, accurately predicts scientific knowledge that could not have been known at the time of its writing, or about 609 to 640 CE.

With the rise of Islamic creationism, increasing numbers of Muslims are supporting the Qur'an as.

Quotes
If the Quran contains scientific foreknowledge, why did Muslims wait until science discovered those things to claim that the Quran contains them? One also hears arguments like the Quoran [sic] must be true because X was stated in Quoran [sic] and later it was shown by modern science that X is true. I would like to point out that many science fiction writers wrote about travel to the Moon and travel under the sea before technology made such feats possible. If we apply similar standards of logic then we must also conclude that these science fiction writers were inspired by an omnipotent divinity. Bucaille bends the meaning of the Arabic words to suit his own ideas. These are revelations of the Scripture that maketh plain.He it is Who hath revealed unto thee (Muhammad) the Scripture wherein are clear revelations - they are the substance of the Book - and others (which are) allegorical.
