“The Koran Is Borrowed”: Hitchens claim; refuted.

[paarsurrey]

Except for the mythological creation story of Adam and Eve...

Even that is original with Quran.
Quran does not mention Adam as the first human being ever born, in whose nostrils life was blown:
“G-d formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils a breath of life. Man thus became a living creature” (Genesis 2:7).
Quran mentions Adam who was the first human being made prophet of G-d with a message from Hims for his people who already existed.
Quran is original and corrects Torah that got altered/tampered with by the corrupt narrators/scribes/clergy.
There is no myth in Quran, it is real and is original, secure and unchanged Word of G-d that corrects all the revealed scriptures of all the revealed religions.

It may also be they have already went a trip on his merry--go-round of flat out denial and are not bored enough for another trip.

Very true. I keep getting back on the merry-go-round, for some reason. Hmmmmm......someone once said doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results constituted insanity........

You've not defended your position...

The creation mythology of the Abrahamic faiths include Adam, Eve, the Garden of Eden, a seductive snake, some forbidden fruit, and an exile from paradise. Those aspects of that story are NOT factually original to Islam or to the Quran. To argue that they are original concepts to Islam is to either be terribly ignorant or to be a liar.

Given that I do not believe you to be either of those things, how do you reconcile the fact that the creation mythology is not original to Islam yet is mentioned so often and seemingly identical to the Judeo-Christian texts?
