Leviticus 24:16- And he that blasphemeth the name of the LORD, he shall surely be put to death, [and] all the congregation shall certainly stone him: as well the stranger, as he that is born in the land, when he blasphemeth the name [of the LORD], shall be put to death.
Leviticus 24 (KJV) - ዘሌዋውያን
21: And he that killeth a beast, he shall restore it: and he that killeth a man, he shall be put to death.

Again it's a misinterpretation as far as I am conserned. It is repeatedly stated that the teachings of Moses were vastly misunderstood in ways. Namely vain sacrifice and offerings of others for the sins of self.

"And it is We who have constructed the heaven with might, and verily, it is We who are steadily expanding it."
(The Qur'an, 51:47)

"…And We sent down iron in which there lies great force and which has many uses for mankind...."
(The Qur'an, 57:25)

and so on.

I do not see how the first quote has anything to do with science.

The second one however was a well known fact prior to the Qur'an being written.

I quoted 24:16 not 24:21.

that verses state our universe is expanded.
the second verses state that the iron came from out of space. Are there any scriptural texts state like that?

Ah but the thing is that is said the sky is expanded.

The second says iron is useful and found in the ground.

How are you drawing these conclusions?

scientifically the universe is expanded. sceintifically also the iron was coming from out of space instead of from the ground.

Ah but does the Qur'an not also mention what we call the sky as the heaven?

But iron did not come from space any more so than the rest of Earth.

samaa in arabic means space, sky, heaven, universe.
the quran uses past word: We sent down the iron...

But therefore that means that because the word "samaa" was used that you do not know if he was speaking of space, sky, heaven, or universe.

But there is no scientific evidence that iron came down from space, so how would this prove the Qur'an to be factual?

samaa is the general word that refers to the sky.
there is a scientifc evidence that iron came from space.
