Dear Firouz,
 
I never read that passage that way. I thought He was asking them to come up with proof they believed in God, not come up with better verses.

Dear Susan,
 
I remember long long time back when I was living in Dubai we had a deepening class  about Tablet of Ahmad, our Egyptian teacher explained it to us this way. Actually he emphasized that in Tablet of Ahmad Baha'u'llah goes one step further than Quran and allows people to assist one another to produce a verse like His. To me it makes lots of sense and the following from Epistle to the Son of the Wolf is also saying something similar.
 
`O ye peoples of the earth! Turn yourselves towards Him Who hath turned towards you. He, verily, is the Face of God amongst you, and His Testimony and His Guide unto you. He hath come to you with signs which none can produce.' The voice of the Burning Bush is raised in the midmost heart of the world, and the Holy Spirit calleth aloud among the nations: `Lo, the Desired One is come with manifest dominion!'
 
regards,
Firouz
