Qur’an itself refers to them.

Yes but how are we supposed to know which part is from Allah and which isn’t?
-
The criterion is that what conforms to the Quran is accepted, and that what opposes the Quran is rejected.
-
And if Quran is silent about something?
-
“Conforms to” does not mean that the Quran explicitly states on every matter; it means that what is not against Islam and Quranic established teachings, it can be accepted.

Fair enough. One last question in this regard, if a Biblical narrative goes against established fact, it should also be avoided, right? To be specific I am asking about narrative of Noah and his 3 sons and their progeny. Genetics study goes against it.

There can be other nations too; however, historically, the existence of three distinct nations of Sam, Ham, and Japheth is considered true by the historians. And that is why nations and their languages are named after them. Genetic studies have no tools to negate it.
