Jesus Min, read a little about it. Do you know that the Hadiths are extra Koranic accounts of Muhammads life made by people who were there. They are about as good as historical documents get for historical figures. If you applied your ridiculous overskeptisim to everybody, no historical figure would exist. Ghenghis Khan conquered the whole world has no primary sources written about him and the closest writing that we have on him is far later than those we have for Muhammad.

But humanity invents its heroes, anyway.
Here is another thing and I think it's an important one. If Muhammad was invented, wouldn't they invent someone who wasn't such a horrible person? I mean what a flawed hero. He violates his own laws by marrying 7 women instead of 4. He fucks a 9 year old. He murders and kills, he loses battles and is run out of Mecca. Nobody is inventing someone who's biography is so obviously imperfect.
