ok no offense because you ar easking in earnest so I am sending you this web site page from a university so you can read up on it yourself. I truly believe in the saying" give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach a man to fish and he will eat for a lifetime". So please take the time energy and effort to read this. The Qu'ran is not a myth. It is ancient knowledge written from the standpoint of another culture, it is a way to truth just like the bible, if you understand it and can apply it......

No dear you are wrong. The holy Quran is not like these stories. The holy Quran is a book that is in a class by it self. It is a guide for believers, but also it gives examples of previous nations, and future prophecies. It is a miracle nothing ever looked like it.

Thtas what you believe .....(as you said) ...but please do some research before pointing a finger to any religion ....research doesnt mean that you type "false stories in quran" in google ..... because there are lots of people who would have stories like you mentioned to tell about Quran ....go and search for scietific facts which are discovered just recently but mentioned 1400 years ago in Quran ...
Quran is a living truth .....
May God show you the light ...

The Qur'an
The Arabic world "Al-Qur'an" literally means "the recitation". When used in regards to Islam, the word Qur'an means God's final message to mankind that was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad. The Qu'ran, sometimes spelled Koran, is the literal the word of God - as it clearly says time and time again. Unlike other sacred scriptures, the Qur'an has been perfectly preserved in both its words and meaning in a living language. The Qu'ran is a living miracle in the Arabic language; and is know to be inimitable in its style, form and spiritual impact. God's final revelation to mankind, the Qur'an, was revealed to the Prophet Muhammad over a period of 23 years. The Qur'an, in contrast to many other religious books, was always thought to be the Word of God by those who believed in it, i.e. it wasn't something decreed by a religious council many years after being written. Also, the Qu'ran was recited publicly in front of both the Muslim and non-Muslim communities during the life of the Prophet Muhammad. The entire Qur'an was also completely written down in lifetime of the Prophet, and numerous companions of the Prophet memorized the entire Qur'an word-for-word as it was revealed. So unlike other scriptures, the Qur'an was always in the hands of the common believers, it was always thought to be God's word and, due to wide-spread memorization, it was perfectly preserved. In regards to the teachings of the Qur'an - it is a universal scripture, and it is addressed to all of mankind, and not to a particular tribe or "chosen people". The message that it brings is nothing new, but the same message of all of the prophets - submit to Almighty God and worship Him alone. As such, God's revelation in the Qur'an focuses on teaching human beings the importance of believing in the Unity of God and framing their lives around the guidance which He has sent. Additionally, the Qur'an contains the stories of the previous prophets, such as Abraham, Noah, Moses and Jesus; as well as many commands and prohibitions from God. In modern times in which so many people are caught up in doubt, spiritual despair and "political correctness", the Qur'anic teachings offer solutions to the emptiness of our lives and the turmoil that is gripping the world today. In short, the Qur'an is the book of guidance par excellence.

Koran is not a myth. It was written by Mohammad as a tool to make people follow him, and to forge an empire; and it worked. He was a brilliant politician and a military leader.
