Proof Islam is True!

Just my two cents:

Literacy in the past wasn't at all what it is today, today in a majority of the world's societies, its a serious handicap, an obstacle to leading a fully functioning life, & certainly an obstacle to an intellectualy satisfying life. In the past, the Avarage Joe & certainly the Avarage Jane got on perfectly well while being illiterate. And even with the lack of literacy, Muhammad didn't live in a cave amongst aborigines, he lived in a society with poets, poetesses & a significantly vibrant cultural life & some Christians' & Jews', from where its possible for any illiterate to pick up the requisite skills to construct a Holy Book. There's some bits of the Quran which are sublime & have considerable literary & ethical value, apart from the threats & intimidations to unbelievers on practically page, but nothing to indicate that a Divine Being wrote it, even nothing to indicate that a Shakespeare like literary genius penned it.

Allah must have realised that his work isn't up to snuff, for after claiming that His surahs are the best & challenging others to write an equally good surah, He warned unbelievers that they can't & if He doesn't like the surahs they've written to challenge it, He'll burn them in Hell! dance

There were many very intelligent people in the past who functioned in the highest stratas of society, & functioned brilliantly while remaining illiterate-the Mughal Emperor Akbar was an illiterate, & a paragon of good kingship. Although his illiteracy was due to his determination not to study as a child & it certainly wasn't a practice to let rulers be illiterate.

Today when we need clothes we go to weavers & tailors & we don't consider it a handicap not to be able to spin clothes ourselves,in the past when people wanted something penned down, they went to scribes-& weren't in the least bothered by their inability to read & write.
