Semen contains between 95-98% of fructose, prostaglandin hormones, metal and salt ions, lipids, steroid hormones, enzymes, basic amines, and amino acids. Which are all produced in the abdomen! which is between the ribs and loins. Only 2-5 percent of what is in the semen is produced in the testicles.
The Quran says a fluid that is emmited which means to send out or produced. Then the Quran says in verse 7 "Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:" . Proceed which means to continue with something and can also mean to come from a source. The source which semen origantes from is the abdomen!

I took a look in Wikipedia.
Most of the stuff is produced in the seminal vesicles and the prostate, neither of which are in the abdomen.
You fail.
Well, technically, the building blocks for everything produced in the body enters either through the mouth (into the stomach) or the nose (into the lungs). So the sourse of these building blocks would be either "between the backbone and the ribs" or the abdomen.
However, I doubt this is what the Quran meant...
"...fructose, prostaglandin hormones, metal and salt ions,..."
The first thing I thought of was that old joke with the punchline, "So that's why it tastes so salty."

Technically, the testicles aren't required for ejaculation, the prostate is. I had a vasectomy over a decade ago and my testicles add nothing to the equation other than provide the testosterone required for my sex drive. Plenty of men have been castrated accidentally and can live normal lives with regular doses of testosterone.
Muslim123456789 , however, is full of shit.
The prostate is indeed located in the abdomen, or it would not be palpated by the doctor sticking his finger up your butt. Last time I checked, intestines were in the abdomen, as is the bladder, and the prostate is located around the urethra which drains the bladder through the penis. This is why it becomes difficult for men to urinate as they grow older and the prostate enlarges, causing the ureter to narrow from the pressure placed on it. There is a valve which closes upon erection so it is practically impossible for a man to urinate while erect, thus preventing the death of sperm from the ammonia in the urine upon ejaculation.
Also, the prostate is the organ which produces the fluid which sustains the sperm until they are in a position to fertilize an egg.
I'm assuming what was meant by the phrase "The Quran says a fluid that is emmited which means to send out or produced. Then the Quran says in verse 7 "Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs:" " is that many men experience sensations in their lower back prior to orgasm. If one is unfamiliar with anatomy, it might be assumed that is where the semen is coming from, rather than by the bladder.
Just your daily dose of useless information! :)
i hate these apologists trying to say that exact things in qur'an are science.
i for one take it as a philosophical book that gives things in parables and uses the idioms and common terms of that time to make people understand.
but these people just HAVE to open their mouths.
And look at his Username, it has to be a poe.
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs
That would be the thorax, not the abdomen. The Muslims did some good science in the Middle Ages, but they invented it themselves or got it from the Greeks, not the Quran.
"Only 2-5 percent of what is in the semen is produced in the testicles."
Which is the part that contains the actual sperm that fertilizes the egg. Your Quran doesn't say we start in the testicles and are carried away by fluid from between the backbone and the ribs, it says we start between the backbone and the ribs, so FAIL.
Another guy who doesn't know about the prostate, huh?
Should get some up-the-butt lovin' to find out where it is.
The Quran mentions semen, screws up majorly on basic male biology, so therefore it is infallible?
I'm convinced, swing a burka this way.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
