Muslims claim that god mention verses in their holy book which explain the exact progress of fetus
in the womb and i hope for whom got the knowledge to explain whether the described stages of development mentioned in the holy book is scientifically correct or wrong,the verses as follow

[23:14] …We made the drop into an ALAQAH (leech-like structure), and then We changed the ALAQAH into a MUDGHAH (chewed-like substance), then We changed the MUDGHAH into IDHAAM (bones), then We clothed the IDHAAM with LAHM (flesh, muscles), then We caused him to grow and come into being as another creation.

drop = liquid of semen
alaqah = leech
mudgah= chewed substance
idhaam = bones
lahm = meat,flesh

So the stages start from the drop of semen which became as leech then the leech became as a chewed
lump of flesh then to bones,then the flesh will cover the bones then the process continue to develop a baby

not really, everything depelops at the same time (that is, not bones first, then flesh)

Thank you for the information,please do you have more details or a link which confirm that bones
started at the same time with the flesh and the scientific process which have been used to confirm
such fact.

Thanks for the links,but what i found by searching is that bones start about 13 weeks following conception then become harder then next tissue start to develop,check http://www.livestrong.com/article/36711 … velopment/

Or look at that detailed (and not very kind) deconstruction of the idea. By a professional developmental biologist:

But the pictures above illustrate that the leech stage is looked like the leech appearance
then the stage of a chewed substance is also clear as illustrated in the pictures but is it
just a fabricated pictures or thats really what happened inside the womb

which contains some never before seen descriptions of the embryo.

I have had embryonic TingYu history, in more than two months to find the embryonic TingYu, did not check out the reasons. Now, already pregnant 40 days, what needs to be done and relevant examination?

I think it has relevance in scientific way, the first two stages. The development of vital organs started at the end of 10th week of the gestational stage then everything follows as the weeks pass.
