Your source Dr. Moore has admitted that what the Koran says about embryos does not necessarily indicate divine inspiration. That is much different from some of his previous comments that imply that what the Koran says about embryos does indicate divine inspiration.
Wikipedia says "Moore's work on the Qur'an has aroused controversy among embryologists such as
PZ Myers. In 2002, Moore chose not to be interviewed by the
Wall Street Journal on the subject of his work on Islam, stating that "it's been ten or eleven years since I was involved in the Qur'an." Apparently, Dr. Morre is becoming less willing to defend his position.
Have you read PZ Myers' writings about Dr. Moore? How about other scientists' writings about Dr. Moore? Do you know enough about biology to have informed opinions about what Dr. Morre's critics have said about him?
What you need is a general consensus of biologists, but you only have a relative handful of biologists. Christian creationists can also find a relative handful of biologists who agree with them, but over 99% of experts disagree with their experts.
If you sent your arguments to any of the chairmen of the departments of biology at Stanford, MIT, Yale, Harvard, the California Institute of Technology, or UCLA, they would find your experts' claim that what the Koran says about embryos was divinely inspired to false.
If a God inspired the Koran, and wanted to use the Koran to try to convince people that he inspired it, he could easy have done a far better job of that than he has. For example, he could have inspired some accurate prophecies regarding when and where some natural disasters would occur, month, day, and year, and he could have inspired Muhammad to write some genetic code sequences in the Koran. Obviously, there is not anything in the Koran of the quality of those examples.
A God who wanted to communicate directly with humans would have no need or desire to do so through human proxies, thereby causing lots of needless confusion. Even Muslims themsevles cannot always agree regarding how the Koran should be interpreted, let alone try to convince other groups of people to accept it. If a God wanted to communicate directly with humans, there would be no substitute for him showing up personally, tangibly, in front of everyone in the world. Basic common sense indicates that if God showed up personally, tangibly, in front of everyone in the world, he would have nothing to lose, and humans would have much to gain.
Even if a God inspired the Koran, I would not be able to accept him unless he first answered some questions to my satisfaction, including why he attacks humans with hurricanes, and tsunamis, and stands idly by while people die of starvation.
