RE: What are you bigest reasones for not believing in the Quran only?

Pel, it seems that the location of the first revelation is accepted through the early biographers, as I understand it, and really, why would you want to dispute the location of the "message" if you are actually interested in reasons why we reject the Quran?
"1) The first verse of chapter 96. In the oldest surviving biography of Prophet Muhammad, Ibn Hisham (d. 218 H / 833 CE) states that Gabriel appeared to Muhammad one night when he was sleeping in a cave on a mountain called Hira’ in Mecca, where he used to go for a spiritual retreat for a month every year (see my article One Night in a Cave that Changed History Forever). Carrying a book, Gabriel commanded him to “read.” Muhammad refused the order twice before finally asking about what he was supposed to read."
