That’s not counting references in works with disputed dates of authorship, or the works of the early Church fathers (Clement, c. 89 AD; Ignatius, c. 110 AD). It’s also not counting sources that are no longer extent, such as the creedal formula in the letter to the Galatians (the formula would date to within 1–3 years of the crucifixion), the works of Papis (c. 90 AD, quoted by Eusebius in the fourth century), the pre-Markan passion narrative (conventionally dated to within a decade of the crucifixion), or the hypothetical Q gospel (conventionally dated to the middle of the first century).
I would take my chances with them rather than your Quran which came so much later!
Jay Smith did extensive research and found that the Quran used today was compiled in 1924............in Cairo.
There were many versions before that.
Still, on its own, the Quran cannot stand. Stories in the Quran have no head, no tail, and Islamic scholars and historians had been referring to the Gospels (and Psalms and Torah from the Christian Bible) to make sense of the Quranic verses which he nao says are not reliable.
Talking about dates, when "scholars and historians" refer to the hadiths, they are reading conflicting versions of what Muh actually said, and some of the them were written 300 years after Muh died. He will rebut with "Those are weak hadiths".
When it comes to the Gospels, he'd say "Throw them all away! They say different things" just because he does not understand. When it comes to the Hadiths, it's "Oh, they are weak hadiths. It's OK! It's OK! They say different things, but never mind, just cherry-pick the ones which fit well in our narrative, so you can follow Muh, use him as your idol or role model!"
