The Quran is not a magic book neither it is a book of spells. Without observing in what the universe gives or what life teaches with experience, the book is obsolete.
In other words; if you wanted evidence for the existence of God observe the stars and observe the universe; and read the Quran.

Unevidenced assertion.
No; it needs constant observation of the universe.

But the book was revealed in Arabia where:
1-The Mongols burnt libraries
2-The Crusaders invaded
3-Muslims fought together
4-wars and invasions are still going to this day
I'll be surprised if a single book survived all that turmoil.

You might be missing the whole point of organized religion.

The Quran was tolerant to rejection of its message; many verses in it prohibited Muslims from the killing of peaceful non-Muslims
