At length, when they came to a (lowly) valley of ants, one of the ants said: "O ye ants, get into your habitations, lest Solomon and his hosts crush you (under foot) without knowing it." 27:18
Allah, the Almighty, says: (He said): O Yusuf (Joseph), the man of truth! Explain to us (the dream) of seven fat cows whom seven lean ones were devouring, and of seven green ears of corn, and (seven) others dry, that I may return to the people, and that they may know. Yusuf said: For seven consecutive years, you shall sow as usual and that (the harvest) which you reap you shall leave in ears, (all) - except a little of it which you may eat. Then will come after that, seven hard (years), which will devour what you have laid by in advance for them, (all) except a little of that which you have guarded (stored). Then thereafter will come a year in which people will have abundant rain and in which they will press (wine and oil).” (Yusuf: 45-49)
The Scientific Fact:
Storing corn in its ears is considered one of the basic methods of preserving such seeds during hard environmental conditions. This combination of growing crops and preserving and storing them is called preserving products.
Dr. `Abd al-Majid Bil`abid and his colleagues from Rabat University in Morocco conducted research on some wheat seeds that were left in their ears for two years and some other seeds that were left outside their ears. Primary results showed that the ears experienced no change and stayed 100% viable despite the fact that the storehouse was normal and no special conditions were provided. Scientists also found that seeds left in their ears lost a considerable amount of water and became drier than those left outside their ears. This means that 20.3 % of the weight of the seeds left outside their ears is water which will affect the seeds ability to grow once cultivated, simply because water makes it more vulnerable to decay.
Thereafter, researches compared the rates of growth between seeds left in their ears and others left outside their ears for 2 years. They found that seeds left in their sheaths have a better growth rate - of 20 % root length and 32 % trunk length. Afterwards, researchers tried to estimate the proteins and sugar that remained unchanged. They found that such substances had fallen by 32 % after 2 years of storage in the seeds left outside their ears while after one year of storage such seeds lost 20 % of these substances. The seeds stored in their ears lost nothing.
Facets of Scientific Inimitability:
Almighty Allah says: “…which you reap you shall leave in ears” which means that storing seeds in their ears is the best way to preserve them.
There are two other scientific observations in this verse:
1- Defining the period over which seeds are expected to be viable: 15 years. People were commanded to grow wheat for 7 years and then 7 hard years would follow and then one year (totaling 15 in all) will come when people will be able to produce wine and oil. Scientific researches have proven that wheat seeds can keep their ability to grow for a maximum of 15 years.
2- The method of storage by leaving seeds in their ears has also been tested in the research. This shows that the best way to store seeds is the way practiced by Prophet Yusuf who was taught by Allah. It is historically proven that this way was unknown before, especially to ancient Egyptians who used to store wheat seeds outside their ears. Obviously, this is a scientific miracle that shows the greatness and accuracy of the Ever-Glorious Qur'an and that it is a revelation from Allah (Exalted and Glorified be He).
Or like utter darkness in the deep sea: there covers it a wave above which is another wave, above which is a cloud, (layers of) utter darkness one above another; when he holds out his hand, he is almost unable to see it; and to whomsoever Allah does not give light, he has no light. 24:40 Deep ocean waves discovered by scientists - Telegraph

A pulsar is a small, rapidly spinning and highly magnetised neutron star that results from the violent collapse of a massive star in a supernova explosion. The giant star's core, weighing nearly a million times the mass of the Earth, is condensed into an incredibly dense body typically some 20km across. As they rotate, they emit powerful beams of radio waves from above their magnetic poles and which sweep across the Galaxy like a light-house beam. Should the beams cross the Earth, radio telescopes will detect pulses of emission which are, in effect, the ticks of a highly accurate clock. Their period is set by the rotation speed of the pulsar and ranges from a just over a millisecond up to a few seconds

Why do people trying to justify the quran, always leave out the fact that these "proofs" have been known for hundreds, and sometimes thousands of years before the quran was written.
Its no different than saying, "don't the unbelievers see, the flying spaghetti monster cause the earth to rotate on a axis". There is never anything useful like antibiotics and vaccines.

Indeed. The article indicated that the antibacterial agent came from the larvae of most flies. I didn't see anything about wings.
The problem here is that a similarity is held up as a proof. It's an illusion, like the Bible Codes. It's a question of some hidden message that will prove inexplicable wisdom.
Suppose some Islamic doctor in 1450 had read that passage and pulled the wings off flies and sold it as medicine? It wouldn't have done a darn bit of good, for all we know. That passage wouldn't have helped with extracting antibiotics. It needed science to find out that there were antibacterial substances in fly larvae.
So the religion latches onto some bit of science, finds a keyword in the Quran and passes it off as inexplicable proof that the Quran in the Word of God. But when you examine the claim it doesn't look that close, really.
It's worth doing, because, once one sees the trick, you don't get fooled again.
can I get an allah akbar? More proof that fantasy is hard for some to seperate from reality. Islam is another fantasy.
