Okay, let’s leave aside whether this is a book about God by humans, or
a book
from God about humans.
Let’s discuss the factual accuracy part first. You ask “how we can study
something factually, with so many authoritative arguments and divine
authority
getting in the way?” The authoritative arguments and divine authority
are only
for those who consider the Quran from God. For all others, its just
book giving
warnings and glad tidings about a future (hereafter) we cannot know of
otherwise.
Not true. Some people, many who are alive today, are able to communicate
with the
dead, and have knowledge of the hereafter.
Except it's never anything useful; like is string theory on the right track or where did
Uncle Fred stash his money?
Our home was a half-way house for Cambodian refugees (until Reagan stopped
them from
coming here) and speaking with the dead is much more common in that culture
than
western culture. One lady for example would consult with her dead brothers
when
buying a car and they would come and check it out. Westerners find all that
unbelievable but I can assure you that I have had personal experience of
the same.
By the way, none (to my knowledge) heard from god.
"I can call forth spirits from the vasty deep!"
"Why, so can I, and so can any man; but do they come when you do call them?"
(Shakespeare, I'm not sure which play offhand, or who said it ... or if I quoted it
accurately ... but I'm sure you get the point).
Quite accurate, from Henry IV Part 1.
