Alright, I think you're missing the point here. You act like the Qur'an goes into intimate details of the process. This is embryology in its entirety in the Qur'an:

 

  • "He makes you in the wombs of your mothers in stages, one after another, in three veils of darkness."
  • "Then We placed him as a drop in a place of rest."
  • "Then We made the drop into a leech-like structure."
  • "Then of that leech-like structure, We made a chewed lump."
  • "Then We made out of the chewed lump, bones, and clothed the bones in flesh." (Sura 23:14)
  • "Then We developed out of it another creature."
  • "And He gave you hearing and sight and feeling and understanding."
  • "Then out of a piece of chewed flesh, partly formed and partly unformed."
  • "And We cause whom We will to rest in the wombs for an appointed term."

 

This isn't revolutionary at all - it's incredibly ambiguous and not distinct from knowledge of Embyology of the time - it isn't erroneous because there isn't enough detail/specifics to show errors. 

Example:

The Sun rises and falls in the sky. Not erroneous from human perspective, but completely fallacious in regard to knowledge of orbit/rotation/axis tilt.

simply hilarious

Victory. Finally.
