The video of the dialogue between myself and Farhan Iqbal has now been posted. The topic was on the Trinity and Tawhid. I begin speaking at 27:42.

Can God Enter Into Creation? A Case Study

Can God enter into creation? This is a major point of contention between the Christian and the Muslim, and often sadly a stumbling block for the Muslim in terms of accepting that the creator of the Universe, in the person of Jesus Christ, actually assumed a human nature and entered into creation itself. Is there reason to think that God can do this?

According to the Qur'an, God seems to be able to enter into creation at least in some sense, since in Surah 27, he enters into the burning bush in order to speak to Moses (paralleling the account in Exodus 3). We read in Surah 27:7-9: 

"Remember when Musa said to his family, "I have noticed a fire. I shall bring to you some news from it, or bring to you a live ember, so that you may warm yourselves." So when he came to it, he was called: "Blessed is the one who is in the fire and the one who is around it. And pure is Allah, the Lord of the worlds. O Musa, the fact is that I AM ALLAH, the Mighty, the Wise."

In Genesis 3:8, we also read that Adam and Eve "heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day." This is difficult to explain given the view that God cannot enter into creation. But is there any additional evidence from the Hebrew Scriptures that God can enter into his own creation, or is the idea of divine incarnation a Christian invention?
