Personally for me the issue has always been what is true Sunnah and never that it does not exist or apply. At the same time It is crystal clear from the Quran that we don't need any additional sources to understand the message of the Quran. By the same token we have not been prevented from seeking inspiration from the life of the Prophet Pbuh. The issue is and is likely to continue to determine what was the true Sunnah. There is no official version of Hadith for the simple reason that QURAN DID NOT AUTHORIZE either an individual or a group and neither a methodology to go by other than the use of our normal faculties of reason and logic. The unauthorized claim of Ijma employed for the purpose, as one of the three alien concepts (the other two being abrogation and Shaan e Nazool) which has crept into Islam, has had a debilitating effect on our progress as a nation.
Edit: I will try to be there
Edit2: For the Atheists, I would just like to remind them that 5000 years of philosophical gymnastics has concluded that we cannot hope to go beyond proving the existence of our own consciousness, that's right just our own, that even when we get to that stage, if ever. How long still before we admit to needing help. The best help can be found in the inductive true facts of revelations which are 100% verifiable. Verify them and move up.
