The Bible says that the sons of God married the daughters of men giving rise to mighty men of renown. The sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them. All the sons of God shouted for joy when the morning stars sang together. We, the sons of God shall be like him. The sons of God do not die, they are like Angels. He will gather together in one the children of God. The peacemakers are the sons of God. Then the Bible asks: "Who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the Lord?" In addition, the Bible cites that the Israelites are the sons of God. However, Moses who was the great among the Israelites was not more than a servant (slave) of the Lord. Also, the Bible says that there are morning stars and they sing. Scientists never say that.
On the other hand, the Quran denies and condemns that the Almighty Lord has son or sons. All Muslims are like the great Israelite prophet Moses, no more than slaves of the Almighty Lord. The Quran considers saying that the Almighty Lord has Son or sons is great sin that Allah will not forgive it and it ultimately leads to an eternal punishment in the hell.

I have always prided myself on being above average in intellegence. When I used To Watch Star Trek the Next Generation i used to compare myself as a cross between Data and Spock. With this mentallity it has been hard for me to put faith into the premise of a supreme being. I have always told myself that I am a believer in the theory of Evolution. This has made 'the Secret" difficult for me.

The "Perfect, just and righteous" Noah as the Bible said plants a vineyard, gets drunk, and lies around naked in his tent. His son, Ham, happens to see him in this condition. When Noah awoke and heard "what his young son had done unto him" he curses not Ham, who "saw the nakedness of his father," but Ham's son, Canaan. This biblical story had been used to justify slavery, racism and color discrimination.
On the other hand, the Quran says that Noah was one of the great Messengers; He had a big problem with his son. His son was unbeliever. This problem ended up with the dramatic death of his son (drowned in the flood).

The Bible says that Peter (Jesus' friend) was to be blamed, and cites some events of "Blamed for ever"
Also the Bible says that giving no offence in any thing is your way to be not blamed; In addition the Bible teaches how to be blameless.
The Quran also teaches us how to be blameless with emphasis about the story of every Messenger and a social instruction. In addition, the Quran notifies us about the upcoming affair when Satan says the Truth and tells his people: Do not blame me but blame yourselves.
This upcoming affair is not found in the Bible.

The supreme energy or power of the entire cosmos is ones soul force. On the one hand at the worldly level everyone thinks that wealth is our supreme need of the hour and yet if we think deeply wealth is definitely inert and material in nature. By itself it has no energy or force of its own and that its use/misuse or good/bad aspects lie entirely in the hands of its owners.
