Quote:Ancient versions of the quran were found ; no contradiction with that we have today.
BTW, do you know that the arabic grammar is like a lie detector ? if something is made up, the grammar experts would fetch it up.
The quran is flawless, grammatically , nothing is like it (studied it for years,from a grammatical pov). It's almost impossible to forge that.
And still, evidence proves that ancient qurans are the same as the one we have.
Um, that's a crock.

Quote:The Koran is the holy book of Islam, the direct word of Allah as spoken through the Angel Gabriel to Muhammad. Unlike the variations and translations of the Bible, the Koran exists today in the exact same wording and format as when it was first recorded by the third Caliph nearly fourteen centuries ago. Or so everyone believes.
Until recently, some of the oldest variations of the Koran were paper fragments discovered during a Mosque restoration in Sana’a, Yemen. When the thousands of fragments were studied it was learned that not only did some date back as far as the 7th century, but many of them did not match to the modern version of the Koran. The Sana’a fragments stirred controversy in the 1980s when a German expert in Arabic calligraphy and Koranic paleography began studying them. "They don’t want it made public that there is work being done at all, since the Muslim position is that everything that needs to be said about the Koran’s history was said a thousand years ago," said Gerd-R. Puin. "These manuscripts say that the early history of the Koranic text is much more of an open question than many have suspected: the text was less stable, and therefore had less authority, than has always been claimed."
Again, as Bart Ehrman has shown with xtian documents....no difference. Much editing and massaging of the message went on.
And it sure as shit didn't come from any god, pal.
