Bring forth a mistake in the Qur'an, bring anything to show me it isn't the word of God? Supply the firepower along with the words, supply the proof of your statements, show me some claims so I can believe you.
The Qur'an has not been changed. Check any Qur'an copy in the world, and you will notice this, compare this to any Qur'an copy in a library [Check the oldest one too], and you will notice they are all the same.
I dont think you seem to know the Arabic language well, but basically it's easily memorisable, infact the Qur'an is very easy to memorise, just like getting a song stuck in your head. Many people know the Qur'an by heart, and that's how it was transmitted, and then written. Even to this day, there are MANY people who know the whole Qur'an by heart.
God's words are meant to be taken literally, he is our Lord, our sustainer, our providor, the Omnipresent, Omnipotent, there is nothing like them, so WHY wouldn't he want us to obey his words?
The Qur'an is a easy book to understand, and we Muslims do take it as literally, whatever it says we must follow, if we dont have a valid excuse for not following it, then we are gaining ourselves sins.....

You are going about things backward. If you want me to believe that the Qur'an is true, you have to prove it to ME, I don't need to disprove it. To me its just ba collection of words and is as valid as Norse Mythology, the Old Testament or Greek Mythology. It may be absolute truth to you, but its not to a whole lot of people to say the least.
By the way, if you do take the Qur'an literally, then you must agree with the whole "killing of infidels (read: anyone who ain't muslim) will gain you acceptance to nirvana and fifty whores sucking your knob while you eat a steak sandwich". So, I suppose you and great friends with Osama Bin Ladin and are planning a suicide bombing as I write this.
As for memorization, thats hilarious. The stories in the Qur'an were told word of mouth long before they were put to paper. This is when changes are made. Has it been changed as many times as the Bible? Probably not, but its still 99% likely that it has changed over the course of several thousand years.
But keep on spouting about how the Qur'an has never changed and is the literal word of God. Its much easier to simply repeat what you've been told rather than actually think for yourself.
