1.1. "However, you did say that half of the Quran was rejected after Muhammad's death in this post (in # 2), which implies that it was altered, without ever supporting this statement. So, I want to know if you have changed your mind on whether or not half of the Quran has been rejected after Muhammad's death (or if it's just something that you're guessing is more likely to happen). Whatever it is, you should also tell me your reason for believing this."
In the section on Islam in the book "God Is Not Great-How Religion Poisons Everything" the compilation and rejection is described in detail. It is a very good book by a man who has won numerous international awards.
1.2. But they were in possession of different parts of the Quran we know today since the Quran was made up of Muhhamad's sayings which were written down by various people. Not to mention that unless you can show me a copy of the Quran that is precisely the same as the one we have today that is dated before Muhammad's death, and by this I mean anytime before he died, and not around the time before his death", then your argument is not valid. Also, why wouldn't the other manuscripts match with the Quran?
2. You do know that people can do anything within reason if they have belief? I am sure that if the Torah and the Bible were recited by a prophet and people were told to memorize the books and it was a tradition to memorize it the same results would be produced.
3. That is your opinion, since the Quran does not say that.
4. You didn't reply directly to my answer. And I said false acussation"s", since there were more then just the one you mentioned. Not to forget that two of your answers are dependent on assuming that if something was from a certain time period then it simply must be from whatever time you consider useful in your answers.
5. You still have not answered my question.
6. Shakespeare wrote all those plays without ever experiencing court life. Does that mean he wrote the divine truth?
WHAT ABOUT SEVEN, EIGHT, NINE, OR TEN?
