I have a question for Muslims?

Question

First let me tell you, I own a Koran and have read it, so any reference you give to me I can directly check it. 

I have heard many times Muslim claim everything claimed in Koran is scientific. I tried to find those part which is claimed scientific. I realize somehow Muslims tries to turn and twist language of Koran to make it resemble to present scientifical achievements. So my question are- 

I want to know one scientifical quotation of Koran (which we have discovered recently and was not known 1400 years ago) which is written in exact words. 
for example; Energy released by sun is 3.826E+26 Joules /sec ; size of milky way is 100,000 light years; Certain activity is harmful because of a particular bacteria or pathogen. 

(Note: Please, Do not try to twist or turn language to give it sense, I want answer in exact words)

Second question:
Was turning Jews in to monkey and pigs and bringing dead person alive also scientific?

The Qur'an is not a science book with every fact in the world. That is not its purpose. 
God revealed *some* scientific facts that were ahead of their time then.

Here many of them are mentioned with citations:

Scientists have also spoken on its miraculousness:

––––––––––––––– 
The other person is wrong. The Qur'an does not say the earth is egg-shaped nor does any translation say that. The Qur'an does not mention the shape of the earth.

But since we are dwelling on the subject, just want to point out that eggs come in all sorts of shapes, including round like this for example:

"Was turning Jews in to monkey and pigs and bringing dead person alive also scientific?"
It's called a MIRACLE. 
Look the word up if you don't know what it means.
––––––––––––––– 
1..Read your link, those ancients also mentioned salty “sea water” and “fire” also. That is incorrect and proves them wrong.. they did not know what they were talking about. On the other hand, the Qur’an mentions “water” which is correct. The Qur’an also says we are created from clay, which does indeed contain elements/macrominerals that are found within both the human body. This information and more could not have been known by any means except through a microscope. Yet the Qur’an contains it (and gets it entirely correct) because it is divinely revealed information.

2.. Earth has iron in its crust but it did not create its iron itself... it got iron due to explosion of other stars (much bigger than the sun). God sent that iron and He also sends down iron to earth through meteoroids and these are accurate scientific facts ahead of their time..

3..No, that is your own assumption and you did not give a link about the ancient Greeks. I am still waiting for that. Science proves that the atmosphere surrounding the earth is crucial for life to have existed. It blocks out harmful rays, and does exactly what the Qur’an says – protects the earth. Any holes in the ozone layer are a result of human corruption, which the Qur’an also mentions.

4..People with actual expertise in this field disagree with you.

A book titled ‘Earth’ by Geophysicist Frank Press explains that mountains are like stakes, and are buried deep under the surface of the earth.
Also refer to: Naomi Oreskes, Plate Tectonics: An Insider’s History Of The Modern Theory Of The Earth [10] Stephen Hawking, A Brief History Of Time

5..You do not understand Arabic so do not play around with translations. Even with the translation that you are citing, the message is still the same.. God keeps extending (expanding) the heavens (universe). Anyone who looks at the sky knows it is vast, what they do not know is that it continues to extend /expand. We know this through powerful telescopes. Hence, it was divinely revealed information.

6.. That is a strawman fallacy. Stop lying.. The Qur’an does not explicitly say that anywhere so you can not make your own wrong assumption. Indeed the sun rises from the east.. those two are references to sunrise/sunset and are not inaccurate statements. Also, the sun and moon do each have their own orbits and this is stated casually, not with connection to each other. Quran 21:33 mentions that all celestial bodies have their own orbit. An illiterate Arab with nothing but his naked eyes could not have told you this. Everything in the Qur’an is divinely revealed.

7..The Qur’an is the word of God, not the word of Muhammad (saw). God is saying two things here, as they are written: 
1–He is revealing a totally accurate scientific fact proven by science
2–He is tying it in with a message.
You ignoring facts does not make them go away.

8..None of your links can not be found.. so you still have not proven your claims. Anyway, according to a study from a British journal of psychiatry (2005), lying elicits great activation from the frontal lobe since there is increased white matter in that region.

9..Your link for this point of yours does not work either. And you are wrong. The skin does not cause pain, it is the pain receptors within it which cause that sensation. The Qur’an mentions burnt skin being replaced with new skin so they can feel pain... this does show advanced knowledge since we know now that you do not feel pain if pain receptors are destroyed. The skin itself, even if intact, can  not do that.

Yes, the Qur’an does mention the Big Bang. 
When it says the Heavens and the Earth were joined together, that is talking about the common origin of the universe as one. Then it says God separated that primary nebula and thus it sequentially led to the formation of the planets, stars, etc..

Again, the Qur’an does not mention the age or shape of the Earth.
It is not an all-encompassing science book.

It is not Quran unless it is Arabic. A translation fails to deliver the same exact meaning and impact.
The Quran is not a science book, so its not going to have numerical science facts; thats not what is is for. It is a guidance, and light for the soul.

Sura 79:30 " And the earth , moreover, hath he extended in egg shape."

That is a more or less translation of that verse. 1400 years ago.

That verse refers to an ostrich egg in specific, the earth is not perfectly round.

I am not Muslim, but am familiar with what you are saying, and I think you misunderstand their use of the word scientific.  Scientific refers to a process of performing an action, observing what happens, reflecting on it, and drawing conclusions or forming a new hypothesis.  I think that if you are living a life of faith, you may have gone through this experience yourself until you arrived at the conclusions about life and faith that you have come to.  Your goal should be to keep learning and growing.  Even the science of Einstein is evolving.  If you've stopped questioning your belief system, you've stopped growing as a human being.

Mr. Devin Worshiper, I looked at your questioning and I wondered also. I dicovered that many of the open minded Muslims do not believe in many verses of the Quraan. especially the scientific parts of it as some narrow minded of them do. Such verses as  The sun sinks at night in a Mercury pool. or the earth is flat or that God created the earth in 7 days. we now from the Bible that God created the light in the 1st day, the sky in the 2nd  the earth in the 3rd, the stars, sun, moon in the forth, the sea life in the 5ft. and the animals and mankind in the 6th.
