HARUN YAHYA 173

blood clot, then He brings you out as infants, then so you may achieve
full strength, then so you maay become old men [and women] – though
some of you may die before that time – so that you may reach aa prede-
termined age and so that, hopefully, you will use your intellect. He gives
life and causes tto die. When He decides on something, He just says to it:

similar explanation can be found on a Christian web site:

Son is not intended to mean a physical relationship or birth by pro-
creation. We only say Christ is the Son of God to mean that Christ
came from God… In many linguistic expressions, the word son is
not used to indicate physical generation. For example, we say that
