Final-Fan said: Additionally, literacy was not as basic to education back then as it is today. You could be somewhat educated without being literate, and also he could have been able to read a little but not enough to read the kind of thing the angel was asking him to, etc. |
Are you familiar with Occam's Razor? Basically, it is a principle that generally recommends, when faced with competing hypotheses that are equal in other respects, selecting the one that makes the fewest new assumptions.
In other words, what's more likely: That an angel of god chose the prophet mohamed, an uneducated man, and had him write the qua'ran, or that someone lied? Especially when you factor in just how many religions there are, and that...seriously, L. Ron Hubbard said the same thing, did he not? Not that he was illiterate, but that the things he wrote were divine intervention by Xenu, or however you spell it.
