Firstly: We have far to information about this guy, we practically know what he was doing every single day of the week almost (which is a good sign used by professional lie spotters to tell if somebody is lying)
Secondly: the only gaps we have about his life are a whole month long where there is literally nothing said about him, what did he vanish once a year for a whole month? Truth is it was a change of calendar were whole parts of his story were left out, because the first documents about Mohammed came after the calendar change were there new calendar cut out a month and since it was supposed to be written when the calendar had the extra month, this has led some scholars to doubt his very existence.
Just to provoke thought.
Response: There is nothing to think about. For there is no proof you can provide that the existence of Muhammad was made up, such as who made it up, when he was made up, etc. If Muhammad never existed, then we should have such evidence. You do not. Thus the claim is clearly false. Furthermore, if the non-existence of evidence that Muhammad existed is proof that Muhammad did not exist, then according to that very logic, the non-existing evidence of the person who made up Muhammad and the circumstances around it not existing is proof that Muhammad did exist.
Show me what is the verified evidence (that been verified outside of Islam) of the existence of Mohammed. As if he did, there would be evidence. If I am wrong I will admit it, only if you provide the evidence.
