1. It is necessary to note that bringing a miracle is a decisive and clear proof of the authenticity of a prophet’s claim to prophethood. It is not, therefore, just to convince people.[1]
2. The verses mentioned in your message speak of stubborn people who are never ready to surrender to the truth and if the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) did not surrender to their demands, it was also because of the same enmity and stubbornness. Obviously, the Prophet (PBUH) would not meet such people’s demands about performing a miracle because their demands were not aimed at seeking the truth but they were just out of stubbornness and selfishness that only served to devalue miracles. There was no hope of them embracing the religion. Nevertheless, if the prophets showed people some miracles at God’s order, the purpose for the miraculous deeds was to make divine prophets known and to leave no excuse for others. They were not meant to force people to accept the prophets’ invitation or to meet their obstinate demands. As for the miracles of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH), they were also meant to make Muhammad (PBUH) known as a prophet of God. Therefore, there is no contradiction among these verses and the miracles that were brought forth. The signs sent down by God, the Exalted, were not to surrender to the obstinate demands of a group of people.
3. When it comes to the Quranic verses which says, “We made from water every living thing”, it refers to living beings which are visible and observable to people.[2] In other words, there are different kinds of life: solid, vegetable, animal, celestial, scientific and spiritual.  The verse in question refers to vegetable and animal life. That is to say, everything that has a vegetable and animal life, its life depends squarely on water.[3]
In another verse, the Quran describes the reason for rainfall as such: “That We may give life thereby to a dead land and give it for drink, out of what We have created, to cattle and many people.”[4] Therefore, the verse “We made from water every living thing”[5] means that water is the perfect cause in creating a living being. Without water, it is impossible for living beings to exist. That does not mean that everything has been created from water. The word “living” qualifies “being” which means that God, the Exalted, made every living thing of water. [6]
Conclusively, this verse does not include angels and Jinns[7] The aforementioned verse, therefore, does not run counter to the verses which say that certain beings were made of other things as we read about the creation of Jinns in the Quran: “And He created Jinns from fire free of smoke.”[8]
However, there is another discussion concerning the universe and creation in an absolute manner and you can refer to index: The Primary Matter of the World, question 272” to learn.
