1) If it were from other then God, people would find in it much contradictions.
2) People haven't found contradictions.
3) Therefore it is from God.
A valid argument, but I would say both premise 1 and 2 is definitely wrong.
LOL, no, it isn't.
Valid doesn't mean sound.
For example
If I eat oranges, it means I am a dog.
I eat oranges.
Therefore I am a dog.
Is a valid argument but it's not sound.
The argument is valid:
(a) Book From God
(b) people would find in book Contradictions
Not A -> B
Not B
Therefore A.
Not A -> B = Not B -> A
It's not sound argument, but it's a valid argument.
