Peace Nu'maan,
Did the ancient Muslims believe in all of this scientific stuff???
Well, then I guess the Quran was not so scientific!
A warning friend, never be convinced a holy book id from God just because it contains seemingly scientific knowledge.
Satan has vast knowledge of God's creation.
He knows all about human embryology, mountains, etc.
Satan is not stupid jinn, that's just what he wants you to believe however.
A conman does best when someone takes him for a fool, then the conman uses his cunning intelligence to steal from him.
