Ships and Mountains Analogy in the Quran and Science

Back in the 1500s, when the famous physicist and astronomer, Galileo, first championed the idea that Earth revolved around the Sun, he was called a raging lunatic and convicted of heresy by the church. He, Galileo, was then sentenced to life imprisonment and died under house arrest around 9 years later. But if a 10 years old tells his science teacher that same fact today, nobody even bats an eyelash. So what has changed?
Lots of things!
The world has evolved new technologies that help us more accurately understand astronomy. So poor old Galileo was not insane, he was simply before his time. Now scientists have more advanced tools and gadgets that can help them avoid meeting the same fate as Galileo but sometimes their claims still make us double-take when we first hear them especially if we do not have a background in science and physics.
Let's look at an example:
Two different scientists, in their published work, Tom Garrison and Micheal Allaby both compared mountains to ships. Mountains are those tall massive structures that protrude out of the earth in such a stately solid way and ships sailing in the open water sound like an odd coupling but the physical law of buoyancy developed by the Greek Mathematician Archimedes would say otherwise. This is because of the driving force behind both the ships and the mountains is one and the same and it's called Buoyancy.
Now the word buoyant or floating is something difficult to understand and visualize when we think of mountains. Guess what happens when a surface of a mountains gets covered by a thick sheet of ice?
To answer this question, let's look at the following analogy.
When the ships floating in the ocean are loaded with cargo, then the ships sink and travel deeper into the water than it was before getting loaded. Similarly, when a thick sheet of ice accumulates on a surface of a mountain, it sinks into the mantle under its weight.
Now, what happens to the mountain after the removal of the thick sheet of ice from its surface? In much the same way as a ship rises again after the removal of cargo, the Earth's crust will rise again in response to the reduced load on the mountain.

We know all this today from the research conducted by scientists such as Tom Garrison and Micheal Allaby in 2013-14 but flashback fourteen centuries ago when the Quran was revealed and we find that it makes the same analogy in chapter 42 verse 32 when it says:

Then in Surah Ar-Rahman verse 24, GOD says;

How in the world could a book revealed that long ago possibly contain accurate scientific analogy and information in the glaring absence of the necessary scientific tools and proofs at that time? The only possible answer to the question is that the Quran is the book of the CREATOR of the universe who is ALL-KNOWING.
What makes the Quran even more astonishing than that is modern scientists have used some of the exact same analogies that were first written in the Quran over 1400 years ago. So who says religion and science have to at odd!
