Assalamu Aleikum,

The arguments they post do not hold much water.
No doubt that many of these arguments already have been refuted.

I assume of course you have read an translation of the Qur'an.
Then you must know that a big theme within the Qur'an is nature. The Qur'an talks about nature as a Sign of God's existence.

The real miracle is, is that the Qur'an has not changed in the last 1400 years.
But science has, we understand the world around us a lot better. During 1400 years, our view of the world changed continuosly.
A man-made book with nature as a central theme would not have survived, no doubt about that my brother.

The real miracle here, is that the Qur'an does not mingle in with mankind's opinion about the world. It only uses man's
opinion about natural phenomenon to proof God's existence.

Supposedly, a prophet would come now, sent by God. And he would say: 'The universe is not expanding, it's shrinking and it's flat, believe it'.
No one would believe this, we already have servere doubts about his sincerity, next to that, he's claiming something that we all think is false (even if it's true).

This is the true miracle of the Qur'an, during 1400 years, it did not really intervene in man's opinion of the natural world.
Instead of the Qur'an predicting science, it reflects science. And when you are aware of this, it's mind-blowing, that the Qur'an has done this for the last 1400 years.
Some people actually use this argument against Islam, while they are not aware that they actually proved Islam.

I'll give you an example of point 4 (the expanding Universe), to make my case clear.
There are basically two different interpretations of this verse.

Maulana Syed Abul A'ala Maududi translated the Qur'an in 1979 and added also tafseer.

He translated aya 51:47 (expanding universe aya) as followed: (51:47) And heaven – We made it with Our Own Power and We have the Power to do so.
No doubt that this man was not aware of modern science. He translated the Qur'an in 1979 in Pakistan.
If he was aware, then no doubt he would have used this verse as a scientific mriacle.

But let's see what he writes in his tafseer about this verse:

The word must' (pl. musi'un) may mean the one who possesses power and means, and also the one who can extend and expand something. According to the first meaning, the verse would mean: "We have built this heaven by Our own might and not with somebody else's help, and its erection was in no way beyond Us. Then how can you ever conceive that We shall not be able to recreate it ?" According to the second meaning, it would mean: "This huge universe that We have created, is not a finished work, but We are expanding it continuously, and new and ever new manifestations of Our creation are appearing in it every moment. How do you then think that such a marvelous Creator would not be able to repeat His creation.

If we think about it, how did a man with no scientific knowledge actually say this (second meaning)?
Also see how careful and magnificent the Qur'an presents two different interpretations of this verse. It avoids putting man in a troubled position.
(The Universe is steady according to the first meaning, the Universe is expanding according to the second meaning).
It is for man too reflect, which depends on his present state of understanding the world.
