assuming that the Qur’an is not the word of God, one should ask himself: could a human being in the seventh century write such a book? Or does there exist—up till today—any book that is claimed to match the Qur’an?

Ever since humans started scratching words into clay tablets or painting them onto papyrus sheets or inking them onto sheepskin, there have been writers. Don't delude yourself that the author of the Koran is special in any way. Far before he or they existed, there were fantastic epics written that rival anything existing today.

Who cares? I'm sure the xians think their holy book rivals it. I'm sure no matter what "religious" text you picked up and waved in the air, there is a large group of people that think it's better than the Koran.

Let us examine the Qur’an more closely. Starting with the content, could the knowledge therein have been within the reach of any human source, i.e., the Prophet Muhammad, his contemporaries, or the whole human civilization and for several centuries ahead? How could a book revealed at that point of history refer —in precise terms—to scientific phenomena and historical events—prior and subsequent—that were unknown or misunderstood before their subsequent verification?
These Qur’anic references cover such wide spectrum of topics as the nature of space, relativity of time, the shape and motion of the earth, the role of mountains, water for life, the water cycle, the sources of rivers and groundwater, sea depths, embryology, hygiene and proper health practices, prophecies fulfilled (after revelation), etc.
