Sperm from Backbone

TRUE STORY!
While I was in my 2nd year of MBBS, I read a topic on gonad development in the abdomen and pelvis portion of the Anatomy Subject. Many students who are in the 2nd year or have passed it are also aware of it.
According to Keith L. Moore, the testes develop in the extraperitoneal connective tissue in the superior lumbar region of the posterior abdominal wall. As the scrotum and labia majora form in males and females, respectively, the gubernaculum aids in the descent of the gonads (both testes and ovaries).
The testes descend to a greater degree than the ovaries and ultimately pass through the inguinal canal. Interestingly, the position of the testes before descending is the same as that of the kidney, and more interestingly, the kidney is between the backbone and the ribs.
This is the same statement that is mentioned in the Quran, and it has been criticized by skeptics and atheists, even by Dawid Wood (one of the biggest enemies of Islam), and they claim the Quran is corrupt.
"He is created from a drop emitted-, Proceeding from between the backbone and the ribs. (Quran 86:6–7)"
In the same portion of Anatomy, I studied the blood supply of each part of the abdomen and pelvis, and here again I found that the blood supply of the testes in adults comes from the same region as mentioned in the Quran.
Here we can justify that the Quranic statement in both the fetus and the adult is true, and those who are unaware of medical knowledge will rattle on about this topic because they are ignorant.
