Thanks for inviting us to your little club. Not my scene, but I appreciate the thought, lol.
That verse in Quran is a foundation. Had it not been in there, I would question, why would God not emphasize general mercy to the people who didn't have power to reject faith or accept it? Those who the proof didn't come to them?
It would show major flaw in the book, if it didn't emphasize on it. That said, it doesn't prove it to be from God, but to me personally, had the emphasis not been there, I would not believe in the Quran and it would be proof that an essential perception to this issue was not clarified.
To me, the Quran is easily falsifiable because it's attributed to the most perfect intelligence and needs to be without flaw. That said I once upon a time believe there were many flaws. I don't think at that time, I was denying the truth I knew, but rather following what I thought to be true to the best of my ability.
