“Now let man but think from what he is created! He is created from a drop emitted –
Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs”

Belief in the Books:Miracles of the Quran According to up-to-date embryological
findings no one claims that semen comes from some tissue between ribs and the backbone.
Semen is being produced in the testicles only. In fact testicles are created first in the lumbar area which is exactly the same place told in the verse.
