On the previous verse, Professor Emeritus Keith L. Moore, one of the world’s most prominent scientists in the fields of anatomy and embryology and author of the book entitled “The Developing Human”, said "It is clear to me that these statements must have come to Muhammad from God, because almost all of this knowledge was not discovered until many centuries later.  This proves to me that Muhammad must have been a messenger of God.”

A person came to the prophet Muhammad (SAWS) and asked him whether Allah (God) will indeed put humans back together in the hereafter after they die in this life. Allah replied in the Quran "Does a man think that We shall not assemble his bones? Yes, We are able to put together in perfect order the tips of his fingers." (Quran, 75: 3,4). Now we know that fingerprints are unique for each individual and the verse refers not only that Allah will put them together but the process will be accurate to the level of putting the fingerprints together.
