→‎The Missing Stages: Removed - this section is clearly nonsense and weakens the page. Otherwise you could say also say 75:37-39 misses things from 40:67. Both are just summaries.

(Additions re Keith Moore and Galen. Removed lengthy Dr Rehman quote. He is no longer a prominent figure. Readers of this page are surely familiar with the apologetic claims.)

Some will argue that the dust refers to the catalytic stage of clay in the first stage of abiogenesis. However, this is in error because there are numerous, literally eons length, steps between this clay-catalysis stage and the creation of humans. Secondly, the verse implies that [[Creation of Humans from Clay|man was made ''from'' clay]], giving the impression clay was a building block and not a catalytic compound. Therefore, this clay-catalysis notion is shown to be in error.

===The Missing Stages===
Most proponents of Qur'anic embryology either conveniently omit the embarrassing verse 40:67 or dishonestly quote only the fragment supporting their case.
{{Quote|{{Qtt|40|67}}|'''Pickthal:''' He it is Who created you from dust, then from a drop (of seed) then from a clot, then bringeth you forth as a child, then (ordaineth) that ye attain full strength and afterward that ye become old men - though some among you die before - and that ye reach an appointed term, that haply ye may understand.
<BR>'''Transliteration:''' ''Huwa allathee khalaqakum min turabin thumma min nutfatin thumma min AAalaqatin thumma yukhrijukum tiflan thumma litablughoo ashuddakum thumma litakoonoo shuyookhan waminkum man yutawaffa min qablu walitablughoo ajalan musamman walaAAallakum taAAqiloona''}}
Those who omit this verse are Keith Moore, Maurice Bucaille, Sharif Kaf Al-Ghazal, Nadeem Arif Najmi and Omar Abdul Rehman. Only Ibrahim Syed quotes the verse, but only up to the alaqa stage. Zakir Naik references it in a footnote, glossing over the ‘missing stages’, while Sulayman Gani quotes the verse in full, but glosses over the missing stages.
This shows that the Qur'an cannot even get its embryology stages correct. Some might view 40:67 to ‘contradict’ the other embryology verses as it states clearly and plainly that the child is formed straight after the alaqa stage.
