The Qu'ran explains the water cycle.. So it must be true

Given the fact the Bible had already fully documented the hydrologic water cycle 1600 before the Qu'ran in Job 36:27-28, and 3 other passages (Eccl 11:3; Job 26:8; Eccl 1:6-7)

in Isa 40:22 and three other passages. (Prov 8:27; Amos 9:6 Job 26:10) it says the earth is round and not flat. Job 26:7 says the earth is free-floating in space: "he hangs the earth on nothing." Both these facts are scientifically accurate, and revealed in the Bible long before man discovered it for himself. Are these passages scientifically accurate corruption's?

Having some basic scientific knowledge doesn't prove that a religion is true. Otherwise Hinduism would definitely be true :D

Sorry to be rude, but you're stretching entirely too far here. First of all, there's no such surah in the Qur'an as "Isa 40:22." Second, none of the bible passages say anything about the earth being round, and the only "scientifically accurate" information they contain are self-evident to the naked eye and were not secrets to humanity before science.

Eccl 11:3 says, "If the clouds be full of rain, they empty [themselves] upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be."
Eccl 6-7 says, "The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea [is] not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again."

So what exactly are you talking about? It was no mystery to anyone that rain came from clouds, or that clouds eventually release rain, or that wind blows, or that rivers empty into the sea. If anything, it fails to say why the sea doesn't overflow, except to not that it goes "somewhere." Now, if it had said something like, "And water turneth into vapor, riseth into the sky above, and there doth it accumulate into rain clouds," THEN you'd have something. What you have instead is nothing. I'd examine the Quranic verse, but I don't know which surah you're referring to.

You obviously realize that this is the problem you have to account for. The Bible (and the Qur'an too, I'm sure) do not reveal any science that wasn't already self-evident to the primitives living at the time it was written. You would love for there to be a reference to microbes, or DNA, or the nature of stars and planets, but there's nothing. You're correct if you're concerned about how damaging that is to your belief that these scriptures are the word of God. But unfortunately, that's all you're correct about.
