2. The Quran is faithfully translated over the years to allow no alterations.
3. The Quran has knowledge that could only allow a divine origin.
As for 1, it's somewhat of a different argument. The argument is that the style of Quran is so much different and unique, at the same time, being very eloquent, in a way that humans cannot and have not been able to replicate.
The style of Quran is indeed a unique style. I don't know why, but no one has been able to replicate the style of Quran.
By this, I don't mean the content. I mean the semi-poetry and semi-prose mix, but better then both, way of Quran speaking.
The Arabs were bewildered how this was a completely new style that none of their best poets could replicate.
And to this day, no one is able to replicate the style. And what's more then that, Mohammad was confident that no one could do it, and used it as proof of his claims.
So it's a little more then that.
There is also the linguistic signs in Quran that add up which is another argument.
