Scientific Miracles in the Qur’an?
<p>The verse does however resemble the ancient belief that conception is caused by male & female fluids from all parts of the body. And that’s what some classical tafseers said. For example al-Qurtubi says:</p>
<p>“The fluid is Semen… it comes down from the brain & passes between the backbone & ribs. Qatada said: It means the backbone of the man & the ribs of the woman… while al-Hasan said: it means the backbone & ribs of the man and the backbone & ribs of the woman, for as we know the Nutfah comes from all parts of the body.”</p>
<p>The problems with this verse have led to some creative apologetics. One is that the word “Sulb” is a euphemism for an erect penis and “tara’ib” a euphemism for the vagina. Another is that the words “issues from” actually refer to a baby coming out from the womb. Yet another says it means man is born from the loins of the male & fed by the breast of the female. The irony is that the more attempts at rescuing this verse, the deeper the hole they are digging for it.</p>
