Well what if there is there is something in a scripture that no man could have know otherwise, except by divine revelation?
Like what? The only things that we can say are absolute truth in a scripture are history and science. Scientific accuracies could have been a lucky guess, a coincidence, or the result of some method lost to time.

Well how many lucky guesses do they have to be so that we can no longer consider them lucky guesses?

There is also the very likely possibility that they had technology lost to time. There are a number of ancient structures for which we still don't know the method of construction, there's no reason that if construction methods have been lost, astronomical and other scientific methods couldn't have been lost as well.

How about describing things about the bottom of the sea, the shape of the earth, the earth hanging on nothing.
Also evidence supporting that there was many other popular ideas at the time, why would the bible conveniently hold the truth?

The shape of the earth and the earth hanging on nothing are astronomical things, I already addressed this. Things at the bottom of the sea could have washed to shore, or maybe they had deep sinking fishing cages. While the bible may hold some truth, it also holds some inaccuracies. If something was divine word it would have no inaccuracies at all.

What are the inaccuracies?

It does not matter what the name is either way Allah=Yahweh. As long as you believe in God.

It is better to call God as Allah. It will prevent misconceptions from the Trinity.

I'm sure stream can't wash up on shore, streams at the bottom of the sea.
Mountains haven't washed up on shore at least for thousands of years there is no record of it.

I would agree that Bible has inaccuracies. However, the Qur'an is divine and has none.

Well I respect your thought, but that is evading the problem not solving it.

Well again I'm sure you have not seen them, but there is contradictions, look at what christian scholars have to say and you will see. Along with the fact that the Qur'an was corrupted. Their is a major contradiction in islam, according to the Qur'an all we need is the Qur'an, so what do we need the hadith for?

Because the question is if god in the torah uses YHWH and Jesus confirms this in the New testament as gods name(here are the problems)
Why doesn't mohammed use it or reveal it?
Did Yahweh just change his name?
It must have been significant to be in the torah 100s of times, and to be found historically, Jesus to quote passages containing Yahweh's name. The change does not add up all of a sudden.

Allah is a title.
How would you say the god of the Hindus in arabic?

That defies one of the only two 100% certainties.

Something cannot be both itself and its opposite.

It's called a paradox. There can be sense made out of seemingly contradictory statements. This seems like a philosophical issue, rather than a religious one. Though in any case, I'm finished arguing with you, any continuation is futile. Be well.
