Alfred Kröner was one of the scientists who were interviewed in the UAE during the 70's and 80's about the apparent scientific accuracy of the Quran. His comments were then edited, taken out of context, and used as an argument from authority that the Quran could only have come from Allah.
Having "world leading scientists" apparently saying the Quran can only have come from Allah was one of the most compelling arguments I encountered for becoming a Muslim before I had learned about being rational/objective about research, and during an emotionally low period in my life following a personal tragedy. I also know from chatting with people on youtube that these videos pose serious difficulties for some Muslims who are miserable with Islam and wish to apostatise.
I recently interviewed Alfred Kröner and this is what he said about the matter.

Alfred wanted me to make sure as many people as possible saw this video in the hope that it would stop people from sending him emails asking about it, so if you can help that would be great!
