I'm not at all convinced that the unaltered text of a book for 1400 years proves anything beyond very meticulous and unimaginative scribes.

You might be missing the whole point of organized religion.

The Quran is not a magic book neither it is a book of spells. Without observing in what the universe gives or what life teaches with experience, the book is obsolete.
In other words; if you wanted evidence for the existence of God observe the stars and observe the universe; and read the Quran.

No; it needs constant observation of the universe.

But the book was revealed in Arabia where:
1-The Mongols burnt libraries
2-The Crusaders invaded
3-Muslims fought together
4-wars and invasions are still going to this day
I'll be surprised if a single book survived all that turmoil.

The Quran was tolerant to rejection of its message; many verses in it prohibited Muslims from the killing of peaceful non-Muslims

Following that line of reasoning, I could observe the universe, read the Bible, and reach a conclusion that invalidates your own. If you can use the same method for ascertaining what is true and arrive at mutually exclusive conclusions, then your method is not reliable, Atlas.

By this logic, the Sorcerer's Stone is evidence for Hogwarts and Voldemort?

But you will be met by the flagrant verses in the bible, proving to you that the book -the bible- is the word of man, not God.
While the Quran is a total different cup of tea regarding explicit, flagrant language: it simply has no such language.
