If the text is ambiguous enough to have to be interpreted it is completely worthless. Ignoring that, I noticed you picked on Hippocrates but failed to address Aristotle. There is no differentiation between Aristotle and Qur'an Embryology in terms of stages.
What are you interpreting flesh to mean? Skin? If it's muscles as is common medical terminology:
fleshnoun ˈfleshDefinition of FLESH: the soft parts of the body of an animal and especially of a vertebrate; especially : the parts composed chiefly of skeletal muscle as distinguished from visceral structures, bone, and integuments—see goose bumps, proud flesh
"Look further at the bones, how We bring them together and clothe them with flesh ..." (Al-Baqara 2:259) Bones join and then are clothed with flesh (muscles, soft tissue). Explicitly clear here, at least to anyone with a modicum of understanding of medical terminology. Again, not only does it borrow from existing knowledge of embryology, but it does so inaccurately. |
"A central part of Aristotle’s ideas on embryology was the concept of the menstrual blood coagulating to form the embryo. He regarded menstrual blood as a kind of semen, which required the male semen to initiate development of the embryo by spontaneous generation"
http://www.islamicwritings.org/quran/medical-miracles/does-the-quran-plagiarise-ancient-greek-embryology/
he also made mistakes that are not in the Quran
oh and btw when quoting from the Quran make sure you are quoting the right words as Al-baqara does not talk about human embryology.
when someone picks something randomly from the Quran to prove their point it means they are just spreading lies!
