Convert me if you can

What do you have to say to that ?

I'd say that since I'm seeing the Pascal's Wager card getting played, that it's a sign that we're at the bottom of a small deck of cards. I think it's time to review and conclude.

Islam's Claim: God spoke to Muhammad

Evidence Offered:
1. "Look how beautiful the poetry of the Koran is." (appeal to art)
2. "Islam has grown and so it must be true." (appeal to popularity)
3. "There's scientific knowledge in the Koran that Muhammad couldn't have known."

What's interesting is not just how short this list is but also the lack of any evidence outside the Koran. Christians will at least present historical documentation and supposed "eye-witnesses" to try to compliment their claims regarding Jesus. The Koran, by stark contrast, has zero corroborating evidence. Muslims are forced to use exclusively their holy book to prove their holy book is true.

This is not to say that the Christian evidence is especially compelling either but one has to do the research and dig into history to find the ways that Christian leaders have conned their followers over the ages. Islam doesn't even offer anything to be examined aside from its holy book.

Now, of the three "proofs" offered, only the last is even worthy of examination. The first is an appeal to art and the second is an appeal to popularity. These are obvious logical fallacies and should be dismissed immediately in any rational discussion. The third collapses under close examination of the passages referenced.
