Did the Quran discover fingerprints?

Quran: "Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? Nay We are able to put together in perfect order the very finger tips." (Al-Qiyamah[75]:3-4)"

Muslim Claim: Muslim scholars claim that the Quran foreknew that finger prints are unique to every individual. They use finger prints in police work to find criminals. This is a very modern discovery only God can know at the time of the Quran.

Evidence: There is no way to substantiate this claim from these verses. All what this verse is saying is that in judgment day God will resurrect the dead in perfect order. With flesh and bones, as it is evident from verse 3 "Does man think we cannot assemble his bones?"

Nothing about fingerprints being unique to each individual. The verse is saying "put together" on the "bones", and not "differentiate between each persons finger tips". For that to happen one must corrupt the verse to say the following; "Does man think that We cannot assemble his bones? Nay we are able to differ his fingerprints." Muslims will never accept such corruption to the text of the Quran, and I will not blame them for rejecting it.
