Hello once more dear,
Referring to your last message: I'm an avid fanfiction reader myself and have woefully neglected actual novels for quite some time. Recommendations on books, well... most books I've read and want to read in the future are not quite modern (aka lord of flies, odyssey, l'étranger, wuthering heights, Jane Eyre, etc.), or they at least re somewhat inspired by older works and/or myths etc. like iron fey or really any book from Stephen King. All books have one thing in common and that is some form of literal exploration of a darker truth to the universe and beyond- the relativization of superficial functioning societal reality really. Those books usually mirror a little of my own viewpoint of nihilism and my conviction of the existence of the ultimate power at work, of the absolute order- there is coherence within the royaume of our creator, but beyond his direct will there is none that humans are capable of comprehending at least.

@Inkwinds Thanks for the arguments. They're perfect, they cover everything, they're opinion backed up by some fact, and they thoroughly explains what you believe and why. Definitely gonna store them for later use. Honestly I think you are one of the most intelligent 21 year old's I know. Moving on, you should totes write a novel. Backlash is to be expected especially for a topic like this and it would take a lot of time to prepare and write and then find someone willing to publish it, but you would be able to get your story out there and not only tell persistent nincompoops that you have the right to freedom of speech and creative expression, but also inspire others to do the same. Maybe even convince people who don't think the best of Islam that it's not that bad, and maybe what they thought was completely wrong. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go clean my cat's litter.

That being said, I have been toying with the idea of writing a book about this, but I would have to research a lot and prepare for even more backlash. The book wouldn't be academic literature in any case- too dry XD- but some form of I-novel with a good part of fiction involved, so that I can tell persistent nincompoops that I have the right to freedom of speech and creative expression and if they have a problem with it they really shouldn't make it mine XD.

Not to even speak about the fact that if humans were indeed an evolutionary product it would make sense that we developed with different genetical lines, independently- yet the discovery of the mitochondrial eve proves that our ancestry converges in one woman. Evolution theory is definitely not the unquestionnable truth propagated by our educational system, and I honestly ask why it is still so desperately called a modern revellation to free humans from blind belief- is evolution theory not also abused by state and people with no real, founded knowledge of it to justify their way of living? It's less of a scientifical theory than part of a social mentality of life to the common person at this point. True regression is not what you believe, but stagnation of the type that you come to believe something and remain believing it.
About the originality of the Quran I'll be completely frank- It's really the simplest concept to prove that it hasn't been changed and won't be changed. The book has been orally given from generation to generation. I don't need to write a book on paper (besides the fact that it had been fully written down on rock and animal skin and the like by the time of our prophet's death, sws) to prove that independent oral and written quran of independent generations in different regions of the world are perfectly identical in this very moment. Noone has made reforms of the scripture, otherwise we'd have different qurans today as opposed to many other religions who openly declare that their religious leaders change it regularly. Bring me two qurans that have a different message, otherwise leave me be.
