Some scientific truths that we have only been able to prove today with modern technology were stated in the Koran 1400 years ago. Some of the facts that are stated could not have been known 14 centuries ago therefore the Koran is the word of God.

(Surah adh-Dhariyat, 47) The word heaven is stated in many different places in the Koran, and refers to space, universe, sky, and the atmosphere.
