But the chief reason, the main reason is something which is difficult to convey to those who are not linguists especially in the semitic languages but I'll say it anyway. The rhythm and rhyme of the Qur'an convinces me that it is a Divine speech, not the speech of a human. The exact reasons are far too detailed for me to elaborate here but I will show you a 4.5 minute clip of a chapter of the Qur'an being recited if you want to listen. There are english subtitles if you want to follow the meaning but you have to read them quickly. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WDU1Ht_Cb6s Basically, the recitation is not normal or human, no human can come up with such a meticulous recitation whilst still have coherent information to convey, that's what I believe.
So, in a nutshell, it spits super hot raps - ergo goddidit? I'm unconvinced. Plenty of famous nursery rhymes in the world, I get that this one is your favorite, but there has to be more than that? Iambic pentameter isn't easy either, yet it still conveys coherent information.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
