If so, why? What makes one claim more valid than the other?

No I do not. They are fantastical and silly nonsense.

No. Because how do we know that books like Drawing Down the Moon weren't inspired by God, too? There is no sure test for truth when it comes to divine inspiration. For all we know, every author of every spiritual book ever written has a spark of divine inspiration in it. Or maybe none of them do. It's anyone's guess.

i admire your Moby Dick question, yet you already haved countless desirable solutions, so i'm gonna with the aid of-bypass this one. As countless of your answerers point out, Moby Dick (to me, a minimum of) is relatively approximately 2 extensive organic monsters: Moby Dick himself, or Nature, and Ahab himself, or Human Nature. The deliver's group is pitted against them the two, purely as all of us are in incorrect way or yet another. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, i could admit I even have on no account been able to think of of Moby Dick because of the fact the super American novel. Huck Finn gets that nod from me. For Melville, i admire all shorter products greater efficient, esp. Billy Budd, "Bartleby the Scrivener," and "Benito Cereno." i actually like Robert Lowell's dramatization of a few of those in previous Glory, which does no longer get a lot interest these days. yet there have been some a protracted time wherein the U. S. did certainly declare its independence from ecu literature. None of those works, i'm confident, ought to ever have been conceived or written everywhere else: Ralph Waldo Emerson, the yankee student and Essays (a million&2); Thoreau, Walden; Hawthorne, Scarlet Letter; Poe, short memories; Melville, Moby Dick; Whitman, Leaves of Grass; then, Twain, Huck Finn; and all of Emily Dickinson!! The works of each became right into a literary announcement of Independence.

Yes, of course. God created the humans that wrote the Bible. I dont know about the koran, but i know that the people who wrote the ible like John, Paul, etc. wrote their books when God gave them visions.

Yep. God made the Bible and Koran the way they are for a reason.

NO
The Quran is replete with error. This website does a good job of cataloging them, although the whole thing is basically an error. http://answering-islam.org.uk/
Furthermore, the whole justification for "the same God of the jews and christians" to make another f***king religion is insane. He let the old books get "corrupt", so instead of fixing the old books (bible), he makes a whole new one, then decides to protect this latetest edition!
Finally, Muhammad owned slaves, lead 26 battles of war, married a child...and this is God perfect everlasting example?
How could Islam be more ridiculous...insane...seriously, outline a more ridiculous claim.

No because if it was written by God he would have wrote it in American English instead of that unintelligible King James stuff.

Gosh-you never studied history? How will you ever know the truth, if you don't know where to start? This is a joke question-right?
