Yes, which is why I said "Gentiles may convert to Judaism or Islam, but becoming a Christian/Messianic Jew or Muslim does require conversion or reformation from adherence to Mosaic or sharia law and superseding them with the Gospel and law of love". IOW, I hope that Islam will undergo a reformation like Judaism did led by Jesus and Paul and Roman Catholicism did led by Luther, which will require viewing Mohammed as needing to conform to (or be superseded by) the Gospel of Christ, like Moses and the Pope. Let us pray that will happen, however unlikely or miraculous it seems.
BTW, I might mention that the test of being anti-Christ is the same for Muslims as for Jews. Just as most Jews (including Saul) approved of crucifying Christ and killing those who shared His teachings (including Paul), so Muslims are revealed to be anti-Christ if they approve of persecuting Christians and not allowing churches.
NO! i do not recall the verse that teaches there are no other life forms anywhere & i'm not the type to look it up & post it which would allow people to THINK i know . if i don't know something, i tell people. anyone can look anything up & post it which allows someone to look smarter than he or she actually is.
[From The Western Journal article on msn, "Quantum Physics and the Bible"]
As modern society progresses, we face a troubling reality: the growing irrelevance of science, history, faith and spirituality in an age dominated by fleeting social media trends. This ironic detachment comes at a time when scientific discoveries are pointing to an astounding truth: everything in the universe, improbably, is made of light energy. Quantum physics reveals that what we perceive as solid matter is not "material" in the traditional sense. Instead, matter and antimatter cancel each other out, leaving a sum total of nothing. This revelation has led a growing number of physicists to theorize that we exist in a holographic universe — a projection of energy and information.
RQ: Could it be that this intricate universe exists within the mind of an omnipotent Creator?

The Bible, written thousands of years before quantum theory, presents a remarkable parallel. It describes God as light, love and a spiritual being omnipresent in space and time. Hebrews 11:3 echoes quantum principles: “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God’s command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.”
Quantum physics continues to reveal astonishing truths about the universe, including its mathematical precision and apparent design. This has led many scientists, including prominent physicists, to embrace the concept of intelligent design. The universe is not a chaotic accident; it operates according to astonishing mathematical laws that point to a Creator.
Amid these advancements, it is important to recognize the Judeo-Christian roots of modern science. The biblical philosophy of love, equality and the pursuit of truth inspired pioneers like Isaac Newton, Galileo Galilei and Johannes Kepler. Yet, ironically, this worldview is often dismissed as outdated in contemporary culture. This dismissal comes at a time when mounting evidence affirms the Bible’s historical accuracy and scientific insights. The mathematical elegance of the universe, the fine-tuning of physical constants, and the mysteries of consciousness all point to a Creator. As Sir Isaac Newton observed, “The most beautiful system of the sun, planets and comets could only proceed from the counsel and dominion of an intelligent and powerful Being.”
Despite the growing divide between science and faith, the two are not mutually exclusive. Quantum physics, with its revelations of a multidimensional universe, aligns more closely with biblical teachings than many realize. Both affirm the existence of unseen realms, the non-material nature of reality, and the importance of observation and consciousness. Yet, as society becomes increasingly secular, these profound truths risk being overshadowed by materialism and relativism. The Bible’s eternal message of salvation through Jesus Christ remains as relevant as ever, offering hope and purpose in a world captivated by transient trends.
Max Planck’s legacy challenges us to approach the universe with humility and wonder. The mysteries of quantum physics and the Bible alike invite us to explore the depths of existence, to seek answers while embracing the unknown. As Ecclesiastes 8:17 reminds us, “No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning.” This acknowledgment of mystery is not a limitation but an invitation — to marvel at the Creator’s handiwork, to pursue knowledge, and to live by faith. In a world obsessed with speed and material success, let us pause to reflect on the timeless truths that transcend our fleeting concerns. The universe, in all its complexity and beauty, points us toward something greater: the mind of an intelligent and loving Creator.
