+HullMarkCA couldnt agree more with you :)

+Cookey77 Yes, let's get rid of the family that poured tens of millions of their own money to save our club from going into administration...again! Fans are not always going to agree with corporate decisions but let's not forget what they did for the club. If it wasn't for them we could have shot down the leagues like Portsmouth did.

+Guy Fawkes If you want to believe that, no skin off my nose. More information will be forthcoming on this. I have no doubt it will end up unequivocal. Not that it matters, people with a bias will ignore anything that doesn't back up their preconceptions.

+Placeholder which is all irrelevant unless we have official words from them, these are just few speculations and rumors, there is no certainty on the dating, the time or writing should not be very close to the time of parchment creation, unless we are dealing with a very sensitive fragment, there is no evidence that suggest the ink was placed at the time of the parchment production, even a student of islam in one of the top academic universities in Australia confirmed it to me, because we are dealing with a material extracted from animal skin and not raw paper

+Guy Fawkes The way manuscripts were dealt with indicates the time of writing would by definition be very close to the time of the parchment creation, they didn't have reels of pre-made, ready-to-write skin lying around. Parchment was made on demand due to the properties of the ink and how it interacts with the material, leave it too long and it doesn't soak in properly.

+Placeholder nope, the forensics are not sure, even the title says "could" which means they have not decided and made up their mind, this is not a fact and they didn't say "ok we know for a fact now that it predate Muhammad" there is no official words on it's dateplus you are forgetting  the fact that the dating is only exclusive to the martial of the paper Not the Ink, the paper could predate Muhammad, but then the followers of Muhammad used it to write down the versesit's like me finding a diary that predate my birth and i write down my life event on itdoes this mean my date of birth was wrong sense this diary predate me? of course not

+Guy Fawkes The evidence we do have indicates it's earlier. That's what we have to go on. No reason to dismiss that. Unless what's been discovered thus far contradicts personal view, which is called denial.
