And yes, the bible is about 600 years older I think. But, if you are a Muslim, this is the way that it was meant to be. This is because Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, and he was just spreading Allah's word. Jesus' best teaching was "Treat others as you would like to be treated" (at least that is what I think that Muslims believe his best teaching was).

I'm not totally sure about the last part of your post, but everything you said was right.
Angrist, the Qur'aan wasn't written by one person... It was firstly memorised by that one person, verse by verse, chapter by chapter, over a period of time. He was memorising what the angel Gabriel revealed to him, the words of God. He couldn't have written it, as he couldn't read nor write. One person came up with the idea to copy down the memorisation. So the Qur'aan wasn't written by people, but copied.
