  Question: Who are the "we" of Allah? Isn't it possible that Mohammed, the voice of Allah, is part of the "we"?

  You are not making any logical argument. The Author is using scientific discoveries to prove the authenticity of the Holy Quran precisely because of the reason you've stated.
  
  To begin with, some people have used scientific discoveries and astronomical findings to debunk the claim in the Bible that the earth was created some few thousands of years ago.
  
  You could also remember how great minds in the ancient days were killed or ostracized because their scientific claims were at variance with biblical claims.
  
  E.g, One Lutheran minister termed Copernicus as the fool who wanted to turn the world of astronomy upside down simply because his concept of heliocentric solar system (that the earth and other planetary bodies revolved around the sun)was contrary to the biblical claim that the earth was static and was the center of the universe.
  
  However, if those Christians had read the Quran, they would have realized that what Copernicus was saying had somehow been mentioned in the Quran---that the planetary bodies are revolving
  
  It's one of the reasons why the Author is using science to prove the authenticity of the Quran all because too many times science has been the tool used to prove religion as a
  false proposition

  THE HOLY KORAN ACCEPTS THE OLD TESTAMENT. IF U WANT TO USE SCIENTIFIC ENQUIRY THE STORIES OF NOAH,ADAM AND EVE, LOT'S WIFE TURNING INTO A PILLAR OF SALT ETC ARE ALL SCIENTIFICALLY UNACCEPTABLE. MANY MIRACLES IN THE KORAN AND THE OLD TESTAMENT ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE SCIENTIFICALLY.
  
  RELIGION IS RELIGION AND SCIENCE IS SCIENCE. IF YOU USE SCIENCE AS PROOF OF A RELIGION THEN BE READY WHEN SCIENCE IS USE TO POOH POOH A RELIGION.

  Bro, what about if claims in a religious book are proved to be scientifically correct, then what next?
  
  Then also, remember not all scientific claims are absolute.
  
  We were told an atom was the smallest indivisible particle of an element that can take part in a chemical reaction.
  
  Now years later science came back and said oops, we told a lie. So your claim of science being cemented on empirical evidence is a 'so-so' claim. Many times, they are also wrong.
  
  So don't tell me science can be used to pooh pooh a religious claim and their assertion can be deemed sacrosanct.

  John 16- 5 "Now I am going to him who sent me, yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' 6 Because I have said these things, you are filled with grief. 7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. 12 "I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.

  Quran 61-6And [mention] when Jesus, the son of Mary, said, "O children of Israel, indeed I am the messenger of Allah to you confirming what came before me of the Torah and bringing good tidings of a messenger to come after me, whose name is Ahmad." But when he came to them with clear evidences, they said, "This is obvious magic."

  This "discovery" by the Dutch psychologist is fake. The first part of this article has been circulating internet forums as far back as 2007.

  Quran 2-6....Indeed, those who disbelieve - it is all the same for them whether you warn them or do not warn them - they will not believe.

  First and foremost, let me correct you by pointing out that the Earth was NOT created 7000 years.
  
  The Genesis accounts pays particular attention to our planet Earth, among all the other planets(both known and unknown), because it is the planet that God conditioned or prepared for our habitation and life, in general.
  
  The Earth existed very long in a formless state, and God, by the power of his HOLY SPIRIT and his WORD caused it to be ordered.
  
  The articles presented by Husseini Yushau are very scholarly, yet do not authenticate anything as you want us to believe. I have watched documentaries of beautiful Scientific discoveries which the presenters, in their effort tried to prove or authenticate some verses, also.
  
  However, if you are very rooted in the Bible, you will discover that the Scriptures has many texts that support these Scientific discoveries.
  
  I encourage you to google things for yourself, and not relying on what an ignorant (in the Bible) Professor has said or written somewhere. Look, there are a lot of Academicians, who do not know that God has given humanity Eternal Life and that the Eternal Life is in Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God.
  
  Also, remember that the OT writings had been in existence 1000 years and over, as at the period of around 600AD. Even the last book of the OT(book of Malachi) was barely over 1000 years by the 7th Century. Curious Arabs, in those times were familiar with the writings of Moses, the Psalms and the Prophets, especially when the Jews had been in captivity or diaspora.
  
  The issue of Galileo, the Church, and the Bible was something that rather rumbled between adherents of Copernican science and Aristotelian science at the time, and how the Church, which funded academicians at that time, apparently became entangled in it.
  
  Galileo assertion was partly right. He was right in asserting the mobility of the earth and wrong in asserting the immobility of the sun, this because, the sun orbits the center of the galaxy. His opponents were right in asserting the mobility of the sun and wrong in asserting the immobility of the earth. I must stress that, although his opponents asserted the mobility of the sun, it was not in a deeper way as has been discovered today, for it was long before thought that the sun orbits the Earth. So, the discovery of the movement of the Earth, instead of the Sun(the movement of the Sun, had not been established) made critics to question the verse in book of Joshuah where he commanded the Sun to stand. Our current knowledge about the study of the universe, however, authenticate that verse, for the Earth and the Sun are all in motion, after all.
  
  The Language of the Bible is simple, but true Science should not and cannot contradict it.
  
  I often hear critics say the Bible has been changed, yet when you ask them, which part has been changed, they cannot tell you. The reason being that these are stories that have been received from generations to generations, without people taking the opportunity, even of this information age to find out things for themselves.
  
  We should be thankful to the Lord for easy availability of the Scriptures. Heaven and Earth shall pass away, but his WORD shall never pass away.
  
  It is important for you to be sure of all things.Even if a pastor or a man of God says something we have to search Scriptures whether they reconcile, because on that day is not about what someone told you, but what God through his WORD has instructed you to follow.
  
  I have come across a lot religious academicians who are in disillusion and always arguing against the Scriptures.
  
  In your consideration, think of it this way. First, it is an indisputable fact that the true God is the one who covenanted with Israel.
  
  Secondly, if so, take time and with all the attention that is needed, read the OT, the very writings that Christ read, quoted from etc.
  
  Then go through the NT, you will discover that it has quotations and references pointing to the true identity of the Messiah, the one who atoned for the sins of the world.
  
  It is the knowledge in the Hebrew Scriptures that you are to use to guide yourself from the 1st Century till today.
  
  If you claim you believe in Jesus, then I expect you to be Baptized, and acknowledged for who he is, according as is written in the Hebrew Scriptures.
  
  Jesus says you will know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free. Jesus says whoever does not honor him, does not honor the Father who sent him. How then do you hour him, when you do not even know that He is the Son of God.
  
  Jesus says. no one comes to the Son, except the Father draws that person to him. And the Father does so by the convicting power of the Holy Spirit.
  
  If you have any further questions feel free to ask!
