If you would like to read the transcript to which Miguel was referring, click here.  As noted in the podcast, Dr. Greaves and Miguel had recorded this episode a week ago and lost the recording.  This discussion about the Koran was in that lost recording. Sounds very much like the lost manuscripts of the Book of Mormon, doesn’t it.
