We are in 21st century. Replicating any material be it text or photo isn't a big deal in today's times. I'm sure you won't find two versions of Qur'an in 2008.
However, you don't even know what methods were used a 100 years ago to proof-read and re-write a book, let alone surpassing over 13 centuries!
Qatarkid, Qur'an wasn't written down in lifetime of the Prophet, it might have been compiled yes. It was after his death and during times of war many people, who had learnt it by heart, were diminishing and then Caliph Uthman asked it to be compiled. This entire process of collecting material and writing it down was over 150 years after Prophets death. There's a story in itself that there were 4 different versions of Qur'an were found from various parts of Islamic states when the compilation was taking place. And few parts were left out due to political reasons.
I can't find that link, I think Adey had posted it on QL sometime back. Please do a google on it. ----------------------
