1. Sushruta: Father of surgery, he is an Indian surgeon and teacher of Ayurveda (ancient Indian medicine system) during the 6th century BCE. Susruta is the author of the Susrutasamhita, the work known after his name, and one of the most brilliant gems in Indian medical literature.
2. Hippocrates: Father of Medicine, he is Greek physician (ca. 460 BC – ca. 370 BC), he made important contributions, to Embryology in fifth century B.C. 
3. Aristotle: Father of Embryology, he is a Greek philosopher & physician (384 BC – 322 BC), who wrote a treatise on Embryology in fourth century B.C.
4. Charaka:  Father of Anatomy, an indian doctor born c. 300 BC, he is one of the principal contributors to the ancient art and science of Ayurveda, a system of medicine and lifestyle developed in Ancient India.
5. Galen: Greek physician, surgeon & philosopher (AD 129-216) b), he wrote a book entitled “On the Formation of the Foetus” in first century A.D. His theories dominated and influenced western medical science for nearly two millennia.
6. Quran: the stages described in the Quran matches Galen’s work
7. Scientists of the 21st century: modern science and technology were able to solve the mystery of the human anatomy, their findings does not perfectly match the work of any ancient scientist before and after the 7th century, however they will be always looked upon as great thinkers of their time but not gods.
Modified Conclusion: People were aware that the human-embryo develops in stages centuries before Islam, doctors and scientists of the ancient eras had even stated more complex details than the Quran! Even if we assumed the Quran was the first to state such information, how can you explain away the obvious scientific errors in those verses??
However, Galen’s work (1131 AD) is the most accurate science of all if compared to modern science. In his book De Semine (p.50)- Galen says: “The substance from which the fetus is formed is not merely menstrual blood, as Aristotle maintained, but menstrual blood plus the two semens.” Similarly the Quran used the word Nutfa, which is seman, it didn’t mention any egg or at least if there is any difference between the male and female nutfa/seman/seed.



Maimonides wrote Arabic compendia of the 16 "canonical" books and of several other works by Galen, and his Arabic commentary on Hippocrates' Aphorisms is based primarily on Galen.

G. Bergstrasser (d. 1933), Hunain ibn Ishaq, über die syrischen und arabischen Galen-übersetzungen, mentions older Arabic manuscripts translated from Greek texts by Galen.

Only one sperm penetrates and fertilizes the ovum. The others surround the egg and secrete the enzyme hyaluronidase to soften the gelatinous covering of the egg, the zona pellucida. Once penetrated, the ovum's surrounding membrane thickens to prevent other sperm from entering.
