Which religious text has stronger historical and theological evidence: the Quran or the Bible?

Welcome to the debate arena! Today's topic: "Which religious text has stronger historical and theological evidence: the Quran or the Bible?". Your opponent's style: GodLogic

The quran has stronger historical evidence

You're conflating manuscript abundance with historical accuracy. More copies don't prove earlier events actually happened. Why does the Quran's later documentation (7th century) somehow outweigh the Bible's earlier sources and archaeological corroboration?

It's called the new testament it has been tampered with if it is preserved why not just call it the bible

You're mixing preservation with authenticity. The New Testament is called that because it's literally new—written after Jesus. Calling it "the Bible" doesn't change the manuscript evidence. So which specific tampering do you think happened, and when?

so to say that it's called the new testament because it's after jesus meaning whoever followed the bible before jesus are not accepted?

You've twisted the naming convention into a theological claim. "New Testament" is chronological labeling, not a judgment on pre-Jesus followers. The actual question is: which text has better evidence for its claims, not which group gets accepted?

No don't run from the point you say it's called the new testament because it's after jesus so who are the people that followed it before him?

Nobody followed the New Testament before Jesus because it didn't exist yet. You're asking who followed a document written centuries after an event occurred. The real question: does the Quran's later composition make its historical claims stronger or weaker than earlier sources?

It makes it stronger because it is the muhayman of the others

You're asserting a theological claim as historical evidence. "Muhayman" is an Islamic doctrine, not archeological proof. Show me one historical fact the Quran documents better than contemporary sources from the 1st century.

surah al maidah verse 50

A verse asserting divine guardianship isn't historical evidence, it's circular theology. You're confusing scriptural claims about itself with actual documentation of events. Name one verifiable historical event the Quran records that the Bible gets demonstrably wrong.
