Being better than yesterday!

 To such a question I would respond by saying that take any other book in history which can stand the test of time like the Quran? after a 100 years it becomes clear that these book are flawed due to an N number of reasons. When you read the quran you are unable to find any error any flaw in it. Its challenges to humanity still stand the test of time and reason. Forget that it is a book of God read it like it was written by a 7th century Arab who lived in Pagan Arabia.
