The document discusses references to scientific phenomena in the Quran from the 7th century, including: - Verses 81:15-16 that describe the force of gravity and orbital movements, indicating knowledge that the earth is round. - Verse 39:5 that implies the earth is spherical by referring to God as the one who "appointed the earth as a resting place." - Verse 27:88 referring to the earth's rotation from east to west. The document argues these references from the 7th century Quran show it contained knowledge of phenomena like gravity and the earth's shape and rotation that were only scientifically established much later.
