Surah 4:56
"Surely those who disbelieve in Our signs – We shall burn them in a Fire. Whenever their skins are completely burned, We shall exchange their skins for others, so that they may (continue to) feel the punishment. Surely God is mighty, wise."

APOLOGIST CLAIM
"The Quran reveals that pain receptors are located exclusively in the skin, stating that God will repeatedly replace the skins of the condemned so they may continue to taste the fire."
Refutation & Exegesis
The human sensation of pain involves a highly complex neurological network including nerve endings, the spinal cord, and the brain, not just the dermis. More importantly, observing that severe third-degree burns destroy the skin and deaden local sensation was a basic survival observation accessible to anyone in antiquity. Suggesting that this verse anticipates molecular neurobiology is an ex post facto attempt to read modern medical science into deeply metaphorical, classical descriptions of divine punishment.
Pseudo-correlation
Proponents make a massive leap to pseudo-correlate a basic visual observation—that severe burns permanently destroy skin and deaden sensation—with advanced, microscopic neurobiology. This artificially injects medical complexity into a simple description of hellfire.
