Hi I am new to this forum and this is my first post. I have been sent to give perspective from a Muslims point of view. All I can tell you is that I have had some very strange encounters in the past couple years with a power that is indeed higher than us. Being Muslim - I choose to call this Ultimate Power '' Allah ''. I'm not willing to go into any details yet because I don't want people to call me crazy or run them off scared.
I would just like to clarify a few things. First - Jesus is the Son of Allah. It seems as if Allah doesn't want people thinking Jesus is his son though. I read in the Holy Quran that Allah simply said '' Be '' and Mary was impregnated with Jesus.
It is true that we don't really know the true Birth date of Jesus. I don't know why Dec 25th was chosen but I suppose there is a reason for it.
I also have my own belief that the Universe was created at once. There was no 6 day period of creation as stated in both the Bible and Holy Quran. No, Allah created everything at once. Every thought he put into it, every detail, every function of the Universe was projected from his Mind into Reality all at once. It was meant for us. Just look at it like this - The Universe is like a black picture on a huge white wall. Allah thought of Man before he thought of the Universe and this is obvious seeing as how it was obviously meant to support our existence on this Earth. Everything is perfect. There are no flaws. The Universe is a mystery to man and filled with secrets but to Allah there are no secrets. He is All-Knowing.
Another thing I would like to say is I always see people all over the net have this argument over '' God created us in his image '' -- This is somewhat true but Allah definitely did not create us (Man) out of the image that he see's in a Mirror. We were created out of the image he had of us in his Mind. I just wanted to clarify that.
Thank you for reading and I'll be around these forums more often now.
