1. The Two Seas That Don't Merge
A French oceanographer, J. Cousteau noticed that the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean did not merge in the strait of Gibraltar. An incredible barrier prevented the two seas from coming together as stated in Quran.
This is because of a physical characteristic called “surface tension.� Thus, neighboring seas present different densities, salinity rates and compositions. Water, that usually mixes easily, can turn into a wall and it is not affected by strong waves and currents."He has let free the two seas meeting together. Between them there is a barrier which they do not transgress."
(55-Gracious, 19-20)
2. Orbits of Astronomical Objects"He is the One who has set free the two seas; one is sweet and palatable, and the other is salty and bitter. And He made a barrier between them, a partition that is forbidden to be passed."
(25-The Distinquisher, 53)
In 17th century Galileo Galilei discovered that planets orbited sun.
3. Landing on the Moon and its Date"It is He who created the night and the day, and the sun, and the moon; each of them floating in an orbit."
(21-The Prophets, 33)
"By the Sky with its ingeniously devised paths (orbits)."
(51-The Dispersing, 7)
"And the Moon when it is full. You will surely ride from stage to stage. So, why do they not believe?"
(84-The Splitting, 18-20)
The number of verses to be counted from this verse to the end of the Quran is 1389. The year 1389 in the Muslim calendar corresponds to the year 1969 in the Gregorian calendar, and the year 1969 was the year when man set foot on the moon for the first time."The Hour has come closer and the moon has split."
(54-The Moon, 1)
4. The Land-Sea Ratio
Word --- Number of occurrence in Quran ---- The Ratio
Sea --------------------- 32 --------------------- 32/45=71.111
Land -------------------- 13 --------------------- 13/45=28.888
The ratio of seas to earth: %71
The ratio of lands to earth: %29
5. Geoidal Form of Earth
Quran explains that the shape of earth is not like a tray or a sphere but geoidal by resembling it to an ostrich's egg. The word “dahw� in the verse below means rotundity like that of the ostrich’s egg.
6. Only Female Bees Work"He made the earth egg-shaped."
(79-The Snatchers, 30)
In recent decades, it was understood that only female bees build hives, collect nectar and make honey.
7. Pulsars"And your Lord revealed the female honeybee; build homes in mountains, and trees, and in the hives people built for you. Then, eat of all fruits, and follow the ways of your Lord made easy (for you). There comes forth from their bellies, a drink of varying colour wherein is healing for men. Verily, in this is indeed a sign for people who think."
(16-The Honeybee, 68-69)
Pulsars are highly magnetized, rotating neutron stars that emit a beam of electromagnetic radiation. The radiation can only be observed when the beam of emission is pointing towards the Earth. This is called the lighthouse effect and gives rise to the pulsed nature that gives pulsars their name. The first pulsar was observed on November 28, 1967 (from wikipedia)
8. Unique Fingertips"By the heavens and The Knocker. How will you comprehend what the The Knocker is? It’s a piercing star."
(86-The Knocker, 1-3)
In 1856, Genn Ginsen found out that the pattern of lines at the tip of a person’s finger was something unique to the individual. Until 1856, men knew nothing about this characteristic of fingertips.
9. Big Bang, Gaseous Stage and Expansion of Universe"Does the human being think that We cannot assemble his bones? Surely, We are able to reconstruct even his fingertips."
(75-The Resurrection, 3-4)
The Big Bang was the event which led to the formation of the universe, according to the prevailing cosmological theory of the universe's early development (known as the Big Bang theory or Big Bang model). According to the Big Bang model, the universe, originally in an extremely hot and dense state that expanded rapidly, has since cooled by expanding to the present diluted state, and continues to expand today. Over a long period of time, the slightly denser regions of the nearly uniformly distributed matter gravitationally attracted nearby matter and thus grew even denser, forming gas clouds, stars, galaxies, and the other astronomical structures observable today.

10. The Atom and its Particles"Do not these disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were an integrated mass, which We then split, and from water We made all living things? Will they not believe even then?"
(21-The Prophets, 30)
"Then He turned to the heavens, and it was in a gaseous state. And said to it, and the earth; “Come into existence, willingly or unwillingly.� They said, “We come willingly.� "
(41-Elucidated, 11)
"With power did We construct firmament. Verily, We are expanding it."
(51-The Dispersing, 47)
"Not even an atom’s weight in the heavens and the earth, or something smaller or greater than it is hidden from Him, but all are in a clear record."
(34-Sheba, 3)
