Oceanography confirms distinct water properties prevent immediate mixing.
8. The Darkness in the Deep Ocean – "Or [they are] like layers of darkness in a vast deep sea, covered by waves, above which are waves, above which are clouds—darknesses, some of them upon others." (24:40)
Describes deep-sea conditions, unknown before modern submarine exploration.

Describes stages of human embryonic development, later confirmed by science.
11. Pain Receptors in the Skin – "Every time their skins are burned, We will replace them with new skins so they may taste the punishment." (4:56)
