Many discoveries that are claimed in the Koran were infact known to others at that time or before. The Koran produced nothing new scientifically.
I want to ask you. If a scientific discovery can prove the "correctness" of the Koran then surely another scientific discovery can disprove the Koran.
Take this for example: Sura 51:49 claims that everything was created in pairs. But science today knows that there are many organisms that do not have male and female. They just reproduce asexually or by binary fission.

Ofcourse we would call you and idiot. Because you produce no scientific proof.

This does not make any sense. There is no force (let alone forces) that separates the planets.

I'm a second year medical student and I can assure you that after what we have learnt so far many of my colleagues became atheists. Look around the world. Intellectuals are leaving religion more than ever. Life is chaotic. Every possible thing can and does go wrong in life and in the world. This is not proof of God's exestence.

You should review Islamic history before you say such non-sense. Mohammed was a merchant. He traveled a lot. Got to mingle a lot with other people including jewish priests and christian teachers (one of them is Bin Abi Al Salat) Just because he was illeterate does not mean he was not knowledgeable.
Moreover there are problems in the collection of the Koran later on. This we can discuss later in another thread if you like.
