Quran milk "miracle" in 16:66?

[Aaronmc90]

OK besides the ominous surah numbers, some islamic polemecists are stating that there is a “miracle” in quran 16:66 stating accurately how a cows milk is produced…

I am heavily into comparitive religion (for my own study) and want to ask more knowledgable Christians than myself what we should make of this and debunk this…

I wasn’t able to find much info online, in ways of rebuttals, except a brief mention in Dr. Campbells book, but it was short and a mere mention and not particularly detailed as it wasn’t the main purpose of that part of the book…

I’ve decided to just post the google link (16:66 miracle) and let others pick and choose which site to look at

google.com/#sclient=psy-ab&hl=en&site=&source=hp&q=16:66+miracle&rlz=1R2SKPB_enUS337&pbx=1&oq=16:66+miracle&aq=f&aqi=&aql=1&gs_sm=e&gs_upl=3203l5375l0l5469l13l10l0l0l0l0l250l1486l1.8.1l10l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=28ae8e3a4fd78b66&biw=1440&bih=671

GOD BLESS my Christian brothers and sisters, this is my first post so I just wanted to say that and to all non Christians, may God GUIDE YOU to his one and only son Jesus Christ!

What if the Quran just printed information that the Jews received Egypt? Hathor, daughter of Ra, was an Egyptian god that could take the form of a cow. I think Ra could turn into a cow also.

It isn’t a miracle. Muslims incorrectly regard early scientific discoveries as “miraculous”, but this couldn’t be further from the truth.

You have to understand that the Quran was written during an age when great Islamic polymaths were emerging. Many of them were experts in mathematics/sciences. Indeed, trigonometry owes itself to the discovery of Muslim desert-wanderers who wanted to go to Mecca. Our very number system derives from Arabic. So it’s no surprise that the Quran would have absorbed the contextual influences of what appeared to be an intellectual golden age. You say you are interested in comparative religion, so I think you would find it interesting how the Bible is not a “scientific book” (although once used as such, e.g. Creation) but the Quran is. This indicates to us that these books are only products of their time. They are not “divinely inspired” as what is erroneously argued by both sides of the argument.

I’m not very convinced by the claims that the Quran was received miraculously simply because it has some degree of precocity with regards to science and mathematics. That’s ignoring the wider contextual influences and can even be regarded as historical revisionism.

I just read it. All it says is cows make milk. How is that miraculous knowledge?

Thank you all for your responses and time!

@DJ, well, here’s they’re explanation, though I don’t put much trust in “harun yahya” I absolutely refuse to post answering christianities article, because of the vile and militant nature of that site, but people can check that out themselves (first link in google results in first post)

Wow. It still says nothing miraculous. All it says is that your mother’s milk is good for you. That seems obvious considering it is usually produced explicitly for the baby. I am sure just about every civilization noted this.
