One of the reasons for the apparent contradictions are mainly because they left out certain verses that come before or after the given verses, which are necessary to understand the correct meaning of the passages. Also, the skeptics have used a poor translation from Arabic to English and thereby making it easier to distort the original meaning of the verses.
And I posted links on many of the refutations to the contradiction claims in this thread, 2nd page. You may also point out a specific contradiction in the Quran, if you want to.

Yes, I'll address the more significant things also. It's going to take me a while, though.
But it is also important to point out the falsity that the Quran was unwritten during the time of Muhammad (pbuh) and that it was plagiarized from the Bible and the Torah, as you were saying, without giving any support or reasons for saying that. It is important to know the history of the transmission of the Quran before anything else, because if we are going to talk about the possible explanations of the Quran (such as "why it was written" and "who wrote it"), then, we have to evaluate each of the claims based on the most sound and indisputable historical reports.
