That again, using a wrong interpretation. 

Anyhow, which of his friends knew the universe is expanding? Mankind didn't know the universe is expanding until the 20th century.

So what was his explanation for the expansion? Did he go into details? Look it could be a good guess, it could be from some one he knew

How could Muhammad صلي الله عليه وسلم possibly know the reason for the expansion of the universe? 

But the information given is accurate. And also the following verse after that, where it says that every living thing has its origin from water. No one knew that at that time. Another lucky guess?

Are they also like Muhammad? Laughing

Yes, science fiction writers and inventors have envisioned devices with touch-sensitive screens long before their actual widespread adoption. While the specific technology and its implementation have evolved, the concept of interacting with a device through touch is not new. For example, Nikola Tesla, in 1901, predicted wireless communication devices that bear some resemblance to modern cell phones. Additionally, the idea of a "smart tablet" with pen input was featured in Dick Tracy comic strips as early as the 1940s

Cultural Significance:
Water is not just a physical necessity; it also holds deep cultural and spiritual significance, often associated with purity, cleansing, and renewal. This symbolism further reinforces its role in creation myths. 

Examples include the Babylonian myth of Tiamat, the Greek myth of Oceanus, and various Indigenous Australian creation stories.

Symbolism of Life:

Water is often depicted as a source of life, purification, and renewal, reflecting its vital role in sustaining all living things.

Global Examples:
Ancient Greece: The myth of the primordial ocean, Oceanus, and the life-giving properties of water are prominent.

Hinduism: Water is considered sacred and is associated with creation, with deities like Vishnu often depicted reclining on the cosmic waters.
Judaism: 

The concept of "living water" (mayim chaim) is central to Jewish rituals and symbolizes purification and spiritual connection.

Buddhism: Water symbolizes purity, clarity, and the cleansing of the mind, aligning with the Buddhist emphasis on purification and enlightenment.

Babylonian Mythology: Ishtar's descent to the underworld to retrieve Tammuz and her sprinkling with the Water of Life is a story of renewal and resurrection.

This widespread motif underscores the deep-seated human understanding of water's fundamental role in the origin and continuation of life.

Did any of that says "EVERY living thing created from water"? None at all.

So, a broken clock that tells the time accurately every time is indeed a miracle.

Muhammad knew about it long before and it wasn't divine relevation...let us not kid ourselves..
Laughing Babylonian Mythology:
In the Enuma Elish, Abzu (groundwater) and Tiamat (saltwater) are the source of all things.
