[Quranic Reflection]: Evolution

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

---Or---
1) Humans wonder how speech came to be
2) Humans develop religions to explain unknowns
3) Humans posit that their god gave them speech
4) Humans write the Quran
QED Humans can be dumb sometimes.

I have a problem with the third premise. Speech is well known to the production of both the tongue and the mouth. Even ancients used to take away the ability to speak by simply cutting the tongue or even burn the mouth altogether.

Why would Mohammed -peace be upon him- attribute something like that to God -explicitly and directly-?

I don't understand your objection. #3 is a fact, you've said so throughout this thread.  Many cultures do indeed attribute the ability to speak as a gift from the gods.
