Can you be more specific what do you think we are made of other than the three you mentioned?

You just can't mix your biblical knowledge to assume the same from Quran. Can you provide specific reference from Quran.

Interpretations of Big Bang can be wrong, I admit. But what is this to do with Quran?

6) Need more ?

Obviously these conflicts can be (partly) avoided by giving these parts an allegoric meaning, so welcome to the Christian world !

But why on earth should Allah talk about embryos in an allegoric way ?

Excellent! This is exactly what is required by all especially the Muslims to understand Quran from all aspects of life.
