Hm, vad du väntar på? Det är bara att redogöra en tidigare kunskap som distansera det som nämns i Koranen.
Det har jag redan nämnt ett antal gånger, men bara för att jag känner mig generös ska jag dela med mig av min världsliga kunskap. Varsågod.
Hippocrates (400 f.kr.), Aristotle (300 f.kr.) och Galen (150 e.kr.)hade redan skrivit ner embryologi var man nämner 4-5 stadier av utveckling. Den här kunskapen var välkänd i Byzantinska riket som Muhammed förmodas ha haft handelsrelationer med. Vi vet även att Galens böcker blev översatta till arameiska och fanns tillgängliga i Medina runt 500 e.kr.
Indiska texter innehåller liknande kunskap och sägs vara skrivna tidigare än Muhammed. Se Golachabs post #1192
Samuel ha-Yehudi (200 e.kr) en judisk läkare, skrev också ner texter med kunskap om embryon och deras utvecklingsstadier.
Egyptiska läkare gjorde samma sak redan 1,400 f.kr; bland annat genom att undersöka fågelägg och jämföra detta med mänskliga fosters utveckling.
Alla dessa gjorde sina upptäckter innan Muhammed var född, i många fall hundratals år (eller mer) före Muhammed.
Ytterligare hittade jag något mycket intressant när jag sniffade runt på google;
"According to Muslim historians, especially Ibn Abi Usaybia and al-Qifti, the most celebrated early graduate of Jundishapur was a doctor named
al Harith Ibn Kalada, who was an older contemporary of Muhammed. "He was born probably about the middle of the sixth century, at Ta'if, in the tribe of Banu Thaqif. He traveled through Yemen and then Persia where he received his education in the medical sciences at the
great medical school of Jundi-Shapur and thus was intimately acquainted with the medical
teachings of Aristotle, Hippocrates and Galen."
He became famous partly as a result of a consultation with King Chosroes .
Later he became a companion of the Prophet Muhammed himself, and according to the Muslim medical traditions Muhammed actually sought medical advice from him. He may even have been a relative of the Prophet and his "teachings undoubtedly influenced the latter" [i.e., Muhammed] .
"Such medical knowledge as Muhammed possessed, he may well have acquired from Haris bin Kalda [sic], an Arab, who is said to have left the desert for a while and gone to Jundi Shapur to study medicine...On his return Haris settled in Mecca and became the foremost physician of the Arabs of the desert. Whether he ever embraced Islam is uncertain, but this did not prevent the Prophet from sending his sick friends to consult him."
Harith Ibn Kalada was unable to father any children, and it is said that he adopted Harith al-Nasar (Nadr), who was apparently a cousin of Muhammed, and also a doctor by profession. Interestingly Nadr mocked Muhammed, saying that the stories in the Qur'an were far less entertaining and instructive than the old Persian legends he had grown up with. Perhaps he recognised that the Qur'an had human sources for some of its stories? As a result of this Muhammed became his sworn enemy, and the Prophet put him to death following his capture in the Battle of Badr in 624.
