46:4 “Have you considered what you call upon besides Allah? Show me what they have created of the earth, or have they a share in the heavens? Bring me a book before this or traces of knowledge, if you are truthful”
OK, I'll call your bluff, and bring you the Popol Vuh. It tells how the gods Tepeu and Gucumatz made humans out of mud, and then wood; destroyed them all in a worldwide flood; turned people into apes (monkeys actually); it gives the genealogies of the tribes, tells of Xibalba (hell) and it's overseer Ah Puch; and the god Kinich Ahau who controls the sun, the goddess Ix Chel who sends the rain, and Yumil Kaxob who brings us maize. Show you what they've created? Right here, this ear of corn you're nomming on. The Popul Vuh's the straight dope, from the gods. This other book of yours is just stories.
I could have used the Tattvartha or the Gathas or lots of other books, so I don't see how this lame argument gets any air time, unless people are rilly rilly ignernt. Oh, right.
