The Quran is not true Pt 1: Basic Reasoning

It used to be thought that religious superstition would play less and less of a role in our day to day lives as technology advanced inexorably. However, nothing is predetermined and the rise of Islam in Britain shows religious superstition is surviving and thriving. 

This video is about how extraordinary beliefs require extraordinary evidence. The Quran's claim to contain the words and commandments of the Creator of the Universe make it extraordinary. Yet the evidence for the Quran being true is paltry. So logically, no one should have a strong belief in the Quran, and by extension Islam. And yet they do, and that is why teaching people to be critical thinkers is so important. 

Here's a prediction: in 10,000 years time all contemporary religions, including Islam, will be forgotten, just like the gods of the Greeks and Aztecs.
