Language never fell outta the sky but I’d rather read an Arabic bible than a greek one. At least it’s in the same language family as the native tongues of all the prophets. Linguistically Quranic Arabic or Classical Arabic is highly unique because it gave rise to Modern Standard Arabic which is used throughout the world. What other text had an global effect on language as substantial as the Quran. There are about 20million greek and Hebrew speakers combined. There are 330million speakers of Modern Standard Arabic.
This doesn’t refute Islam or the Qur’an in the slightest. There’s not a single foreign word in the Quran. Understand this. Is ‘cotton’ an English word? Obviously yes, right? However, its origin is Arabic. It comes from قطن which means cotton and is pronounced very similar. Now does this mean, cotton is not English but actually Arabic? Of course not.
The Quran is most definitely a product of its time. Linguistically speaking, there is nothing special about the Quran. We know for a fact that the Quran uses transliterations of non-Arabic words like the word "Injeel" which is Greek.
You absolutely right that there is nothing special about the Quran. Here is more proof: p227 Shady Nasser's Transmission of Variant Readings of the Quran "By creating a database of variants for selections from the Quran and a few poems from the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mufaddaliyat, I was able to create twenty-three categories of variants applicable to both Quran and poetry. The first important observation is that both literatures *share the same types of variants* regardless of the proportions and percentages of each type in its respective genre. The limitations of the consonantal outline of the Quran and its liturgical and theological restrictions have definitely produced different proportions of the variants from those in poetry, which is restricted by meters and rhymes. The variants which are due to discrepancies in case endings and internal vowels are more frequent in the Quran, and I attribute this to the eponymous Readers’ modest knowledge of Arabic grammar and syntax, unlike the transmitters of early Arabic poetry who were mostly grammarians and philologists."
@@inquisitivemind007 I wonder how the authors of; Encyclopedia of Arabic Literature knew that e.g. (Mutammim ibn Nuwayrah, Rabi'a ibn Maqrum, Abda ibn at-Tabib and Abu Dhu'ayb) had adopted ''Islam''. Islam wasn't yet the organised religion it would become later, rather they adopted Arab monotheism (Hanifiyyah) which was in that early period far closer to the Judeo-Christian traditions hence they also praised other practices forbidden in Islam-Wine, gambling (the game of maisir), etc. and not surprisingly ''neither the old idolatry nor the new spirituality are themes'' Either way, i never knew about this Pre-Islamic poetic works which again exposes the later Islamic tradition. Thanks brother.

@@inquisitivemind007 that doesn’t refute what I said. I would actually agree with Marjin Van Putten.
Arabic language isn't divine hence there is no creator and afterlife, got it 👍

Some Muslims believe Arabic is a divine language meaning what's written on the preserved tablet is Arabic.

You literally cannot produce a chapter like the Quran
