Re: The beginning of creation
Such an important piece of information, and missing from the Quran???
What you speak of STONECOLD, is borrowed from Zoroastrianism (specifically "Spenta Mainyu" - The Holy Spirit) and has no grounds in Islam when:
وهو الذي أنشأكم من نفس وحدة فمستقر ومستودع قد فصلنا الءايت لقوم يفقهون
And That is the Being that initiated you from a single/unit life (a cell or an amino-acid-helix ?). Then in a process, appointed stages of development (evolution?). We have explained the signs to a people who comprehend. (6:98)
ألم يجدك يتيما فءاوى
Did He not find you (i.e Muhammad/Ahmed) an orphan and gave you shelter? (93:6)
