Scientific Error In Quran-Phases Of Human Creation (23:14)
There is no error in this aya. Problem is that people take meaning of meat as everything which is not bone including skin, fat, muscles and other tissues. If you take meaning of meat or lahm as muscles only, which is the right meaning then you will see no error here. i know embryology. There are three layers in embryo, ectoderm, endoderm and mesoderm. Bones and muscles are formed from mesoderm. First bones start developing then muscles start appearing which are attached to bones at certain points. Secondly all the three layers are developing simultaneously into different organs. Also one should know Quran is not a book of science. Secondly people can’t be told what they can’t comprehend. Embryology is described during last two centuries. Even blood circulation was unknown. People used to think heart is like a bottle which when compressed, ejects blood and when it relaxes sucks the same blood. Could any one explain to a person 200 years back that one could talk and see other person at a distance of thousands of miles?
