Once again, how can a man in the 7th century know all these information about the human embryo before the invention of the first electron microscope?

So, how is it rational to believe that Muhammad was the author of the Quran if no one else was able to write something that is better than the Quran, let alone the fact that he was illiterate?
You know that Muhammad didn't wrote the quran(you're talking about the prophet right?), also writing something better is a matter of opinion to me, works of fiction are written better when they are stated as a work of fiction so to me the quran sucks

Unlike the other religious scriptures, there are authentic historical information about the compilation of the Quran that the majority of scholars agree with (both Muslims and non-Muslims). To say that such a book is a plagiarism of other sources, you will have to show that this is true by falsifying all the historical facts about the Quran by using other, opposing historical facts (i.e. those which would support the idea that the Quran is work of plagiarism). Recently, I was reading a book entitled "The History of the Quranic Text, from Revelation to Compilation: A Comparative Study with the Old and New Testaments," by Muhammad Mustafa Al-Azami. It is a comprehensive and well-researched analysis in which the author responds to many different attacks on the possibility of the Quran being fabricated. He looks at each claim separately and clearly shows how everyone has failed in proving that the Quran is a fabrication.

The beautiful character of Muhammad (pbuh)The Quran is a book written by followers of the prophet after he died on his deeds, like the bible is the biography of a prophet, with his opinions plastered all over it, interpreted by other people, if either the god or the author as a self glorified painting of itself the book is horrible because it contains a mary sue
Since when Mary Sues are beautiful, they are the most horrible type of character ever designed

5. No rational arguments which support that Muhammad is the author of the Quran
If the Quran is not a revelation, then what is it? And secondly, how would you get around all the points that I mentioned above to support your own theory of the Quran? Can you justify it?
