Would You Believe Me?

peace
Thank you for your answers guys.
Anyway,
My point, and maybe I didn't do such a good job making it clear, was that if people will not believe stories like the one in the quran today, why would they believe such stories in the past?
The answer I think is that, as Tay said, the messenger would be a very good person with "divine" qualitiesAnd if he/she told you stories, they would be told to get across a point, not to show the people history and miracles (there is no way he/she would know secret histroy from the past anyway).
Well, I don't know if anyone gained anything from this, but a few things have gotten clearer for me. One of them being that there is a flaw in my original question that I can't really fix (fixing it would make it pointless).
So no need to answer that question people. I already got my answer(s).

As salamu alaykum.
Respectfully.Of course, we do have to understand that those people, like 2000 or 8000 years ago were completely different than people today. Now you tell someone that you pray or read a religious book, they call you religious fanatic.
back than, they only had like one book. Well, i think in Egypt they had vast libraries but i don't remember what year. ???Today, people are too occupied with work, job has become a religion for some people, some people have made idols from money. They collect it in their tempels - yes, banks. brickwall brickwall brickwall
I think there is a reference in the Qur'an that we must not let our kids or jobs occupy us.

But when they see some bargain or some amusement, they disperse headlong to it, and leave thee standing. Say "The (blessing) from the Presence of Allah is better than any amusement or bargain! and Allah is the Best to provide (for all needs)." (Qur'an, 6211)Today, if a person prayed in the park for example, people would look at him like he or she was an alien. Or a 1000-foot-giant bee with a plan to eat the city's inhabitants and make it its hive. rotfl rotfl
