The Quran predating the Quran found

I was just reading an article I will link here for future reference about a copy of the Quran found that predates Islam as the story is told today.  This has become known as the Birmingham Quran.

From the Article:

If the dating is correct, the “Birmingham Koran” was produced between AD568 and AD645, while the dates usually given for Muhammad are AD570 to AD632. At the very latest, it was made before the first formal text of the Koran is supposed to have been collated at the behest of the caliph Uthman, the third of the Prophet’s successors, in 653. At the earliest it could date back to Mohammed’s childhood, or possibly even before his birth.
