Wyrd of Gawd, I think I could be Abdullah Yusuf Ali (who is about three years older than Marmaduke Pikthal) but I have no proof (his Quran provides some handy footnotes which I like and I think I will investigate him further). I'd also like to know who decided the Quran should not be in chronological order (which would make more sense).
Maybe bring all of your evidences and create a topic? Perhaps Surah were created to make the Quran easier to read? Like how the Vedic Chants would preceeded their written form (I assume) and then people were forced to better organized them.
