The eternal theological paradox: If God wants people to believe, he will surely know how to do it. He will not need to depend on various mortals to spread the gospel.
Actually, during medieval ages, the Arabic countries were relatively advanced in most sciences. And also in religious tolerance. Then they fell behind, or perhaps just got stuck where they were. However, you are right in one way: If the Quran held scientific secrets, scientists everywhere in the world would be going through it with a fine comb to find them, and it would be in the sources list for a great many science articles.

Oh I'm not denying that historical fact, but that was just humans doing human science based upon what was known by the Greeks, Romans and Indians. The Muslim world was in an ideal place to combine those ideas.
But none of that came from the Quran.
