16 : 4
He has created man from a drop of fluid and yet behold! How he pretends to be an open opponent to Him!
(The verse implies that the fossils of bones at least possessed a shape of some sort from which an idea could be formed about the person or animal to whom they belonged. But Allah created man from a drop of liquid from which no guess could be made about the identity of the end product that would emerge from it. Is it then such an impossibility for Him to turn the bone fossils back into the shape in which they were when they were committed to earth?
It should be borne in mind that, many anthropologists have re-constructed the shape and features of the Ape man by piecing together fragments of bones excavated from earth by their fellow scientists from places where they may have flourished and perished millions of years ago, - even of the mammoth Dinosaurs of the Jurassic Age, now on display in reputable Museums across the world for all of us to see and learn from, together with ample published material for carrying out research. In fact, some of the most accomplished scholars with world-wide reputation are, even as we speak, burning midnight oil to get to grips with so many of these miraculous finds. Is it then such an impossible task for the Creator to put back together the skeletal remains of the creatures whom He had Himself brought into being in the first place?)
