Does the Quran have contradictions?
If you think there is a contradiction in the Quran, then ask the following:
Have I made any unverified assumptions?
Have I considered all possible definitions of the words?
Have I considered all possible translations of the words?
Have I considered all grammatical syntactic definitions/renderings?
If the answer is no to the first one and yes to the last 3 and there still is a contradiction--you have found a contradiction. Nobody has successfully found a Quranic contradiction. You too will find that there isn't a single contradiction in the Quran

Perfect Quranic explanation:
(Quran 3:7) It is He who has sent down to you, [O Muhammad], the Book; in it are verses [that are] precise - they are the foundation of the Book - and others unspecific. As for those in whose hearts is deviation [from truth], they will follow that of it which is unspecific, seeking discord and seeking an interpretation [suitable to them]. And no one knows its [true] interpretation except Allah. But those firm in knowledge say, "We believe in it. All [of it] is from our Lord." And no one will be reminded except those of understanding.
This verse is saying 3 things:
1.) There are clear verses (verses about what you should do, laws, whats right, whats wrong)
2.) There are unspecific verses open to interpretation and not everyone can interpret it the right way
3.) The people who can interpret the unspecific verses are the ones with knowledge and understanding
Knowledge and understanding about what? It could very well mean the Arabic language, context of the verses, historical context as well as natural phenomena. So people without knowledge or understanding of natural phenomena for example would not be able to seek the correct interpretation. And since Allah knows everything , he is the one who knows the true interpretation.
So this means the scientific miracles of the Quran were put there purposely as unspecific verses and the people with knowledge and understanding can interpret those verses. So the interpretation of people back then isn't necessarily the right interpretation because they don't have knowledge and understanding of natural phenomena.
So this verse is also saying, that people with knowledge will know that the Quran is from God (even the unspecific verses) and that people of understanding can truly grasp the meaning of the unspecific verses.
Note: There are many great websites that deal with refuting contradictions in the Quran, I suggest you visit them and do your own research with what I discussed above in mind.
