I assure you, dear reader (if you are a Muslim dear reader) that I consider Muhammad (on whom be peace) to be an ideal for us to emulate and obey: otherwise I wouldn’t be a Muslim. But like all prophets, he was not infallible about everything, not infallible about things uninvolved in the declarations of God’s will and teachings—things such as science. As such, he held many erroneous scientific beliefs that were typical of the scientific ignorance (relative to more modern advancements in scientific knowledge) that existed in seventh century Arabia. Some of these errors were grossly wrong, and arguably even bordered on the superstitious. Again, this has no bearing on his being a genuine prophet, since prophets are not supposed to be perfect in that particular way but in other ways. Bear in mind also that the Koran and its scientific knowledge was not revealed all at once but over a period of twenty three years, and that some of the scientific facts stated in it did not become crystal clear in their meaning until the scientific revelations which would come long after these divine revelations stopped.

Muhammad obviously didn’t know much about zoology; he certainly did not have accurate information on flies. He said that, “If a house fly falls in the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease.” (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 4, Book 54, Number 537) Now compare this bit of quite understandable seventh century ignorance with the precocious zoological knowledge of the Koran, such as its impressive knowledge of precisely where the milk is made inside a cow’s body:

And verily in cattle (too) will ye find an instructive sign. From what is within their bodies between excretions and blood, We produce, for your drink, milk, pure and agreeable to those who drink it.

And as for the human body, the Koran somehow knew that semen came from the torso (which is where the prostate is located):

Now let man but think from what he is created! He is created from a drop emitted, proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs.

(- 86:5-7 -)
Noble Quran

The most amazing thing is the way that the mind behind the Koran knew what a human embryo looked like in its initial phase, in which it is so small that it cannot be seen except through a microscope—a machine that was not invented until long after the seventh century!

Was [man] not a drop of sperm emitted (in lowly form)? Then did he become a leech-like clot. Then did God make and fashion (him) in due proportion.

(- 75:37-38 -)

Question is, do you think it's plausible to use this as an arguement, to say that Muhammad(pbuh) who might've had less science knowledge could never have been able to write the Quran considering the Quran has accurate Scientific knowledge and corrections that are proven by modern Science today?

In other words, in regards to Science, the Prophet(pbuh) wasn't a Genius in that field, yet how could the Quran have shown such Scientific accuracy?
