Son of Ismail (Ishmael)
Muhammad is considered to be a descendant of Abraham's son Ishmael. According to the Bible, the covenant was between Abraham's son Isaac, not Ishmael:
Then God said, “Yes, but your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you will call him Isaac. d I will establish my covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him. And as for Ishmael, I have heard you: I will surely bless him; I will make him fruitful and will greatly increase his numbers. He will be the father of twelve rulers, and I will make him into a great nation. But my covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you by this time next year.” When he had finished speaking with Abraham, God went up from him.
Young earth creationism
Since Muhammad is considered to be among the 50th generation of people on Earth, even if each generation procreated around the age 100, the age of the world would be only 5000 years. While scientists have found human fossils 200000 years old. [2]
Since the mythical Adam was included in the biography of Muhammad, it puts doubt also on the historicity of Muhammad.
