Maybe you just don't get it. I am not going to argue your belief with you.
No one could convince you to something other that what you already believe.

And your belief is also just a belief. We argue to get to the truth. You think that you are somehow unbiased by beliefs?

Doh!
No. It is a made up story, not a historical accounting. The only thing used to counter that is beliefs.

And as you were already told.

To be fair the possible variation still places it well within the accepted timeline. If everything else holds true I'd imagine that considering the relative wealth of documentation we have for the early period of Islam's history that the occums razor approach would be to assume it is an early fragment of the Quran which falls within that timeframe. Though the alternative is always possible and quite interesting.

There is some religious writings that were found in Uragit , which had passages from about 1400 bce that had many of the psalms and passages genesis in it. There were some inaccuracies in torah and psalms due to bad translations, but it was essentially the same. Many of the hymns of that were made directly into phrases in Psalms.
