the real original quran and hadiths were destoyed, were they not? So how can you be so sure that what you have is the total truth and nothing but the truth when god himself did not write it?
This is a common misconception among non-Muslims.
In the time of Khalifa Usman(may Allah be pleased with him), Islam had spread to many different parts of Arabia and people used to read them with different accents, and so the Qurans they had were not the 'correct' versions. But the original Quran written under the supervision of the Holy Prophet(pbuh) himself. So Hazrat Usman(may Allah be pleased with him) after discussions with the learned companions of the Holy Prophet(pbuh), decided to have all the wrong versions burnt, and have the original Quran, which was with Hazrat Hafsa, daughter of Khalifa Umar(may Allah be pleased with him), copied and distributed to the different places.
In this way, the Quran we have today is the same original Quran.
