  That is a solid analysis. Now those who do not believe in creation may be wondering what is happening on the border between France and Switzerland.
  
  Physicists working on the large Hadron collider indicate they have discovered a particle that gives mass to all matter.(They call it Higgs Bosom) By implication, the particle acts like God giving life to everything.
  
  I am surprised they are not putting two and two together.
  
  Now we religionists say there is a creator who created everything; that he gives life to everything that has life.
  And the physicists are equally saying there is an objects that is literally giving life to everything in the universe--that is initiating creation.
  
  The problem is, they can feel the presence of the object, but cannot see it. And we believers say we feel the presence of the creator, that is why even though we cannot see him, we continue worshipping him and believing in him.
  
  To me, both religionists and the scientists are speaking the same language but from different angles.
  
  I believe the discovery of the Higgs boson alone should teach those scientists and atheists, that there is an existing power that can be felt, but cannot be seen.
  
  To me science is just beginning to confirm the presence of the Almighty in everything. They can deny that what they have witnessed is God/Allah, and give the phenomenon any name they want, but guess what, he is Allah and he exist.

  Hussseini Yushau, I encourage you to read the Bible. You will discover that it provides even a detailed account on issues pertaining to the Sciences.
  
  You may fast track some of these information by google, Also remember that the Bible(OT part) had been in existence for more than 1000 years, prior, during which Science did advance to a certain degree.
  
  True Science is in harmony with Scriptures. The Scriptures affirm that God has put a desire in the heart of man to search(scientific discoveries) for his works yet man will not come to the know;edge of all the works of God.
  
  The Bible touches on other disciplines. However, the Scriptures is a book of Life. And in its entirety, is about the Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.
  
  We are to remember that God is a covenant God, and He covenanted with Abraham, Isaac, Jacob(Israel). God had pronounced a blessing on Abraham .by means of him the the whole world would be blessed! God also told Abraham that his name(Abraham) would be known and remembered among the nations through Isaac.
  
  
  The summary of all things is that Christ, the Son of God has come and commanded us to observe all things, including Baptism.
  
  Our Saviour, Jesus Christ said whoever does not honour the Son of God, does not honour God, at all. The question is, how do you honour Jesus Christ when you do not acknowledge him as the Son of God.
  
  The promises of God concerning humanity are all packaged in Christ, and no one can by pass the Son. God has given us Life and that Life is in Christ. Whoever has the Son has Life, whoever does not have the Son the wrath of God remains in him, according to the Bible.
  
  Let us understand that of all the nations and thongs on earth God covenanted with Israel or Jewish people through whom he raised up Prophets.
  
  Christ himself attested to the authenticity or truthfulness of the
  Scriptures. He says,I came to bear witness to the Truth.
  
  Christ also affirmed that Salvation is of the Jew.
  
  Some Bibles have the sayings of Christ Jesus in Red, for easy references.
  
  Remember, that Christ Jesus was used as a lamb to atone for our sins so that we could be reconciled to God, and serve him with clear conscience.
  
  The significant question to ask your self is whether you have received Christ as your personal saviour.

  Bro, you are living on a different planet. There is no pure scientific statement the way it is in the Holy Quran.
  
  For example, the Holy Quran talks about heavenly bodies moving in orbits; the Quran talks about the earth having been created hundreds of thousands of years ago (e.g. billions of years), the Quran talks about mountains acting as protective pegs so there wouldn't be too frequent earthquakes.
  
  Again, the Holy Quran talks about God creating the world from a single point (big bang theory); it talks about the still expanding universe; it talks about God teaching man by the pen; etc.
  
  Bro, infact the number of scientific statements made in the Quran is simply mind-blowing and only recent scientific discoveries have actually caused even Muslims to understand what God meant when he made those statements
  
  Compare with the Bible. From the statement made concerning creation in Genesis, you will come to the conclusion that the world was created in a few thousand years ago which is absolutely not through.
  
  Again, God is not a corporeal being to beget a son. He is God of the entire universe. Guess what, the earth and its inhabitants are infinitesimally small. What less than a single speck or dot in the universe. When God wants to create something, he say BE and it is. He never gave birth to Jesus and so for you to say Jesus is the only begotten son of God is not only false be infinitely stupid.
  
  These are the silly claims driving people away from religion. For how can you claim a being is divine, infinite, absolute, and everlasting etc, and the same time claim that being gave birth to a son?
  
  You know anything that give birth is bound to die for the offspring to take over. God created Jesus; he did not give birth to him. Please, stop making false statements

  The Son ship of Christ was announced by angel Gabriel(See Luke), before his conception.
  
  During the baptism of Christ, to fulfill all righteousness, the Sonship of Christ was announced by God.
  
  Jesus Christ, our Saviour, did ask what do people say I? At some point Peter said you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. Jesus said unto him, Blessed are you Barjona for it is not flesh and blood which has revealed this unto you, but my Father who is in heaven.
  
  Jesus also told Nicodemus who came to Jesus at night that "For God so love the world that he gave his only BEGOTTEN SON that WHOSOEVER believes in HIM shall not perish, but have Eternal Life.
  
  On the day of transfiguration, God spoke "This is my Son, listen to HIM"
  
  1 John 3 asks "Who is a child of God? He who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Please read the entire chapter.
  
  The Inspired Scriptures affirms, God has given us life, and that life is in Christ. He who has the SON as life. He who does not have the SON the wrath of God remains in him.
  
  I can go on and on, but more information is readily available on the net.
  
  Jesus Christ is more than a Prophet. He is the WORD of God, who came in the volume of the Scriptures, written about HIM, becoming flesh and eventually atoning for the sins of the world.
  
  I encourage you to read the book of Hebrews. Also I want to reiterate that Christ death, atonement, and resurrection is for the entire world, in fulfillment of what God told a Abraham that by means of him(Abraham) the whole world would be blessed, for If Abraham was willing to offer Isaac (Ismael had left, by then)as a sacrifice to God(by test of Faith) then a time was to come that God himself was going to sacrifice his Son for humanity, and that Son will come from the lineage of Isaac. Infact God had told Abraham that it was and is through Isaac that he, Abraham, would be known and remembered among the nations, and we are witnesses of this today(see the genealogy of Christ) in the book of Mathew.
  
  Our reference to God is the God of Israel, the creator of the entire universe and everything within. Even kings and army generals and other influential people acknowledge that the True God is the God of Israel. The references or title "God", "God of Israel", "the covenant God of Israel" etc. are throughout the OT
  
  Jesus himself came to bear witness to the Truth(fulness of the Jewish Prophetic writings), saying he even came to fulfill them.
  
  Paul gave a Prophetic warning against a Jesus who does not completely fit what we have in the Gospels (please see Galatians).
  
  Christ sacrifice ended the Jewish animal sacrifice(let alone the sacrifices of the nations 1st Corinth 10,20). They were continuing with practice, ignorance, but God did not acknowledge it, until eventually Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans in 70 AD, according to Christ on Prophecy.
  
  Jesus Christ had his glory alongside with Father before coming down on earth (read John 17). He is the one who involved in the creation of the Universe and everything within it.
  
  He has commanded us to be Baptized, and he did set an example for us, in all humanity.
  
  It is true that the Churches have had their own short comings, but that should not deter you from obeying what the Lord has commanded you to do.
  The issue is not about God and his WORD. It is about human beings that have acted in ignorance.
  
  Do not despise religious materials, but rather take time and read them, prayerfully, and cross check things from the Bible or google search.
  
  Also visit different Churches as often as you can, including small small meetings(Fellowships).
  
  Most importantly, study the Bible which is now easily available on the net.
  
  One of the tools of the devil is misinformation, that is why the God of Israel, the true God has provided us with Truth. Christ says you will know the Truth and the Truth shall set you free.
  
  In you discipline and determination to know God, he will allow himself to be known by HIM.
  
  It is important you carry out a thorough investigation for yourself and your household.
  
  May the Salvation of the Holy One of Israel come to your household.
  
  One more thing.Take time and google to find out about the scientific facts of the Bible, see Psalms, Isaiah, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Job etc

  Bro, the quotations you've given are pointless claims that do not prove anything. If Christ was God as well as the son of God, why did he ask a disciple to refrain from calling him Good ? He said why thou call me good, for none is good but the father in heaven.
  
  Again, why was he crying unto the real God when he Jesus was on the Cross--elloi elloi lama sabacthani,he cried!
  
  Also, why was he begging God to, if he will, prevent the crucificion from happening? (father, if its thy will please take out this cup from me).
  
  Again, Christ said regarding the apocalypse, he has no clue; only God has the answer. He only gave pointed clues as to when the end times will take place.
  
  I can go on and on and on. For those quotations talking about Jesus being God, those are the assertions of the writers. But I am quoting directly from the mouth of Jesus himself.
  
  Finally, you know how Jesus will exonerate himself before God? I will tell you---the answer is the Lord's prayer.
  
  In the lord prayer, Jesus taught people to direct their prayer only to God. Just recite from begining to end and tell me which part did Jesus directed the prayer unto himself.
  
  This is what he said:
  Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth, as it is heaven; give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil FOR THINE IS THE KINGDOM, THE POWER AND THE GLORY FOREVER AND EVER AMEN.
  
  Campus,the lord's prayer is Jesus' witness on the day of resurrection. He never ever taught anybody to worship him or refer to him as the son of God. God is his witness,for he asked humanity to direct their supplications to the One and only Mighty power in the universe, God. And guess what, I am a witness for Jesus too
