3 genres of Bible evidence! What do Muslims have?

Ngata Tan has this to say about the plethora of evidence we have for the Bible: "Dear brother Jay, the other thing about the biblical manuscripts, according to Dr James White, is the fact that biblical manuscripts are copied freely and without "censorship", and with the mass of manuscripts from completely different strands of copies of copies of copies, they still have the consistency of account despite the transition errors or even scribal insertions. Combined with writings of the early church fathers referring to the original scripts, I believe that Dr Daniel Wallace is confident that the original texts can be reconstructed from all these sources". JAMIN DAVID Seah, agrees with this viewpoint, adding, "Muslims also forget that the collection of writings from the early church fathers (that pre-date these 3rd and 4th century completed manuscripts) contain quotations that can be used to re-constitute the entire New Testament all its own. Talk about a wealth of evidence, something the Quran cannot even begin to hold a candle to when compared. Muslims did light candles to burn their own conflicting manuscripts though..." Tim Lutz continues this narrative when he quotes Bart Ehrman concerning the Bible, "The New Testament manuscripts have a much better attachment than any other written work of antiquity" This is true, as there are 5,800 Greek language New Testament manuscripts, as of 8/21/20 (Dr Daniel Wallace, director, Center for the Study of New Testament Manuscripts, CSNTM). There are also an additional 20,000 early manuscripts translated into 11 other languages. Yes, there are variants. But the number of "significant" variants in the 5,800 Greek manuscripts are around 1,400, yet many of them are redundant and duplicate. As far as those verses supporting essential Christian doctrine, there is no ground for any real challenge. © Pfander Centre for Apologetics - US, 2020 (44,220) (Music: "small adventure", by Rafael Krux, from filmmusic-io - License CC BY)
