| #6 Shipman Muslims tell that Koran was not created that it ever (ie well before Genesis) existed in the presnt form without a single comma added. So it is ever fun to remind them that the definitive form of the Koran wasn't fixed until several centuries after death of Muhammad (there were sevarl, conflictive versions before that). In addition the scholars who "fixed" the Koran had to rely on guesswork about the meaning of what was written given the imprecision of early Arabic writing (no punctuation, no vowels and lack of the pointing on letters who allows to differentiate them in modern Arabic). So much for the Koran having existed from all eternity. |
