Let this be the first volley.
Premise:
- If humans are essentially glorified AI (fundamentally prediction machines), like what Dennett and Clark are pointing towards,
- And if the Quran is replete with novel ‘real patterns’ and constructs that did not exist in pre-Islamic Arabic (see Saeh),
Conclusion
Then, in such a deterministic world, humans (or any other predictive mind) could not emerge The Quran; and in all likelihood it is what it claims to be; a revelation from the inventor of all ‘real patterns’.
