QED Humans can be dumb sometimes.
I have a problem with the third premise. Speech is well known to the production of both the tongue and the mouth. Even ancients used to take away the ability to speak by simply cutting the tongue or even burn the mouth altogether.
Why would Mohammed -peace be upon him- attribute something like that to God -explicitly and directly-?
