[quote]The Quran has some simple scientific facts...nothing that i found groundbreaking at all.  In fact, most of them are just exaggerated by scholars to make the Quran look like it has scientific miracles.

Only one of these scientific facts that i found strong and that nobody knew about at the time, would be the one which refers to the big bang.  Aside from that, the rest seem to be exaggerated or interpreted in a twisted way to make it look like the Quran talked about something nobody else knew about at the time.

One example of such unfounded exaggeration would be the part in the Quran which says that Earth is shaped like an ostrich's egg.  Scholars go on and on on how nobody at the time knew this, and how people thought that the earth was flat and that there are two mountains on each side supporting the sky.  But then they ignore the fact that this was well-known even in BC, and it was never widely thought that the earth is flat at all (this was only spread by the Roman church).
