It's also prohibited in Islam. One of the most important things to understand is that why something is prohibited may not be immediately (or even ever) apparent to us, The Creator knows us better than we know ourselves.
- pavlov 5y agoSeems like a bit of a dangerous game of broken telephone though, if The Creator is giving very specific tips to barely literate people in the desert and then never bothering to check back to clarify. Maybe Moses was told "Be careful with consuming those underground fossil fuels" and, lacking context, he wrote down: "Be careful with eating those underground ancient insects" - which turned into a ban on eating grasshoppers.
- tsol 5y agoI mean if you can accept that God is sending down messages, it isn't a huge stretch to think he might also make sure they are preserved to some extent
- azth 5y agoIt's easily provable that the Quran has been preserved.
- azth 5y agoVery bad analogy. The Quran has been preserved word for word since its revelation. The Arabs went on to become one of the most advanced societies history has ever seen, read up on the Islamic Golden Age. Many things we take for granted trace their roots directly to that era. Secondly, you're making a huge fallacy. While many Arabs did not read or write at the time (and this wasn't just specific to the Arabs), they were not ignorant or dumb, which you seem to be implying. We have many surviving poems from the pre-Islamic era. They were very smart people, as we know from history.
