"It has been a great pleasure for me to help clarify statements in
Qur'ān about human development. It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, or Allah, because most of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later. This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God, or Allah." [1]
Professor Moore also stated that:
"...Because staging of human embryos is complex, owing to continuous process of change during development, it is proposed that a new system of classification could be developed using terms mentioned in Qur'ān and Sunnah. The proposed system is simple, comprehensive, and conforms with present embryological knowledge.
"The intensive studies of Qur'ān and Hadīth in last four years have revealed a system of classifying human embryos that is amazing since it was recorded in seventh century A.D... descriptions in Qur'ān cannot be based on scientific knowledge in seventh century..."
