Not being rewritten does not make it the truth

Dear Dr Pipes,

Religious indoctrination reduces our ability for sound judgment. I have heard the argument that quran has never been rewritten so it must be true a million times. But just because something has never been rewritten does not make it true. To be true it has to be true irrespective of whether it has been rewritten or not.
