Koran dated to before Muhamad birth.

The dates given are within the lifetime of Muhammad. It's the 'range' that proves that the Quran was revealed within 1,400 years ago.
And the tests also confirm that the original Quran is the same one in print today so the test proves the authenticity of the Quran. That is extremely important.
Dr Waley, curator for such manuscripts at the British Library, said "these two folios, in a beautiful and surprisingly legible Hijazi hand, almost certainly date from the time of the first three caliphs".
The first three caliphs were leaders in the Muslim community between about 632 and 656.

These things are very important for our age, things such as the Dead Sea Scrolls because they confirm some of the passages we have now for a reason. In the near future these passages may play a very important role in the contests and battles to come.
Very truly, folloing quotation from the curator is note-worthy:

'Precious survivor'

The first three caliphs were leaders in the Muslim community between about 632 and 656.
Dr Waley says that under the third caliph, Uthman ibn Affan, copies of the "definitive edition" were distributed.
