I'm not. And it's not someone else thinking for me. I went through a phase of agnosticism myself before coming back to my senses. I did my own research, standing on the mountains of knowledge of scholars that came before and dedicated their lives to the religion. There are good summaries like provingislam.com (which did not exist when I did my research) for people who want it. And also elaborate explanations like https://youtu.be/nTsEZXx8kRg https://youtu.be/nTsEZXx8kRg

Another video with wrong conclusions. It boils down to claiming "there is something written in the book which could not have been known at that time and place" which is just a claim with zero proof. We have no way of telling that. The rest of the video he goes on a tangent about how the bible and egyptian beliefs were wrong. That does not prove that what is written in Qran is correct nor does it show it came from god. The fact that he chose to spend so much time on that (he was challenged to make a very concise video to prove prophethood) makes me wonder why he did that. I'd expect any talk that does not help the argument to be not in there.

  > which is just a claim with zero proof We have proof. We know about the state of the world back then. We have history, archeology, the knowledge of that era, and much much more. Even English author and historian Tom Holland had to admit that the Quran had too much nuanced knowledge about Jewish and Christian texts that, instead of submitting, he had to come up with a completely illogical and provably wrong story that Makkah was not in present day Saudi Arabia, but on the outskirts of Jerusalem. Even the non Muslims admit and are in awe of what happened. https://www.reddit.com/r/islam/comments/hxn276/here_are_some_historic_evidences_that_mohammad/ https://www.reddit.com/r/islam/comments/hxn276/here_are_some... > That does not prove that what is written in Qran is correct He proved that what's written in the Quran correct, discoveries made just a couple of hundred years ago.

Do you have a recording of everything that was communicated between any party? Historical texts and archeology give us snippets from that time. We can get some general idea but we can't make absolute claims about every detail with 100% certainty. > Even the non Muslims admit and are in awe of what happened.
