Younus (Jonah)
Surah 10 · Verse 39
No! they deny it because of that (part of it) which they cannot grasp through their (existing) knowledge and (because) its interpretation has not yet come to them. Thus, did those before them deny, then see how the end of the unjust was (brought about).”
The Quran contains facts about the structure and origin of the Universe 2:29, 21:30, expanding Universe 51:47, 55:7-9, end of the universe 21:104, 81:11, 82:1, 84:1, four geological eras 41:10, theory of Isostacy 16:15, sending down of iron 57:25 barrier between fresh water and salt water 25:53, embryological changes before the birth of man 22:5, 23:12-14, 96:2 etc This knowledge was not existing 1400 years ago when the Quran was revealed, it was acquired hardly 50 to 100 years back. Many people living during those days might not have understood these particular verses of the Quran and rejected it, while others might have believed without argument.
