We have revealed for you (O men!) a book in which is a Message for you: will ye not then understand? (Quran 21:10).
Almost all sources, classical and modern, agree that the Quran encourages the acquisition of science and scientific knowledge.
And God has created every living creature
from water. (Quran 24:45)
Do we know that cytoplasm, the basic substance of the cell is made up of 80% water,,,,,modern research has also revealed that most organisms consist of 50% to 90% water & that every living entity requires water for its existence.
… Do they not see how We come to the land eroding it from its extremities?… (Qur'an, 21:44)
Dear EarthTalk: I’ve noticed a lot of beach erosion along the eastern U.S. coast. Beaches are virtually nonexistent in places. Is this a usual cycle that will self-correct, or are these beaches permanently gone from sea level rise or other environmental causes? --

Apart from the miraculous characteristics of the Qur'an which we have looked into so far, it also contains what we can term "mathematical miracles." There are many examples of this fascinating Qur'anic aspect. One example of this is the number of repetitions of certain words in the Qur'an. Some related words are surprisingly repeated the same number of times. Below are few examples of such words and the number of repetitions in the Qur'an.
Day (yawm)" is repeated 365 times in singular form, while its plural and dual forms "days (ayyam and yawmayn)" together are repeated 30 times. The number of repetitions of the word "month"
(shahar) is 12.
The word "salaat" appear five times in the Qur'an, and Allah has commanded man to perform the prayer (salat / Namaz) five times a day.
O MANKIND! Be conscious of your Sustainer, who has created you out of one living entity(Equal), and out of it created its mate, and out of the two spread abroad a multitude of men and women.(Quran 4.1)
The words "man" and "woman" are also employed equally:
23 times.
Therefore woe be unto those who write the Scripture with their hands and then say, "This is from Allah," that they may purchase a small gain therewith. Woe unto them for that their hands have written, and woe unto them for that they earn thereby. (Quran 2.79)
Everyone is aware that there are contradictions in the Bible:-
God creates animals and then man - Gen 1:25-26 / God creates man and then the animals -
Gen 2:18-19
God commands killing - Ex 32:27 / God forbids killing - Ex 20:13
God forsakes Jesus - Mark 15:34 / Jesus is inseparable from God - John 10:30, 14:10, 16:32
Will they not ponder the Qur’an?
If it had been from other than Allah, they would have
found many inconsistencies in it. (Qur’an, 4:82).
