He can be illiterate AND still have wisdom. Those are not mutually exclusive. The book appears to have similar message as earlier books. Nothing out of ordinary. It has some new thoughts. Par for the course. There WILL be another book. Which will have more additions. There probably is already.

As for miracles, those who are autistic, I hear, have tremendously unique abilities. There is one lady Shakuntala Devi I think (not autistic) who could do really complex calculations in her head. Miracle to REST of humanity. An Outlier - would shout the Statistician.

The Vedas are full of wisdom. Doesn’t mean they are the book of God.

Yes those who are autistic savant do have exceptional capabilities. It is said that the various parts of the brain which are responsible fir that extraordinary ability (mathematic or artistic, etc) receives greater blood flow than other areas. But the disorder comes with severe limitations as well. Do Shakuntala Devi’s complex calculations have implications or reform on a wide scale…(political, legal, etc?). An outlier she may be, but the answer is, No. Her ability is still a miracle and a marvel, but not on a large scale.

As for your previous paragraph…some of the “new” thoughts in the Quran not only contradict the teachings of the previous books but are major refutations (Allah does not have a son, Jesus did not die on the cross, etc etc). An illiterate person can certainly have wisdom, but those who are experts of the Arabic language…know that an illiterate man cannot produce such intricate and precise revelation. It is not just about wisdom.
