If you see that there is any disagreement please tell me, so that I can correct the misunderestanding.
As a physician do you really believe an embryo starts as a clot? Can a group of cells be likened to a blood clot?

First of all, if you think any agreement between modern embryology and what's mentioned in the Bible please show it to me because I don't think there is any similarity.
I never claimed there was. I just said I preferred the description in the Bible over that in the Quran. IMHO neither stand up scientifically to what we know about embryology today. However, for the time they were recorded it was probably a good enough account of understanding. I would say as Prophet Job was 1000 years before Jesus and so even longer before the Quran came into being. One could say this information was revealed to Him by God.. It came from somewhere and if not God who put the idea in his head then.. ???

Second, if you think that prophet Muhammad Pbuh copied from any of those who studied embryology before Islam, please tell us what exactly did he copy.
The work of Galen does bear a strong resemblance to the account in the Quran as does the work of Hippocrates and Aristotle..
