OK, let's see if I understand.
Lets look at the beginning of surah 4:11 of the koran:
<b>YUSUFALI: </b> Allah (thus) directs you as regards your Children's (Inheritance): to the male, a portion equal to that of two females: if only daughters, two or more,
<b>PICKTHAL:</b> Allah chargeth you concerning (the provision for) your children: to the male the equivalent of the portion of two females, and if there be women more than two,
Clearly, these two versions contradict each other, since "two or more" has a different meaning than "more than two".
So you'd agree, then, that since I have proved there are at least two versions of the koran, then (using your logic) I have also proven that the koran is full of lies and half truths.
Agreed?
