...neither Christ or Mohammed could have ascended into heaven in their bodily form due to the extreme conditions of space above about 10-15 thousand feet? The satellites sent up as well as the information sent back by astronauts in the International space station show that it is very cold and airless out there. Any human rising to heights above 10-15 thousand feet needs an oxygen mask and some heat to keep from freezing while the vacuum of space and the temperature of much below minus 400 degrees F rrequires a space suit to live.
There could have been no Angels with wings to meet Christ and no purchase for Mohammeds horse's hoofs on their way to heaven. No one without a space suit and rocket can go to another planet. How do you explain both Christs and Mohammed's ascension?

Trying to explain God in terms of natural laws? Sorry, won't work!

You realize that Einstein spent a good bit of time calculating mathematically the existence of extra dimensions, specifically the fifth dimension.
He himself believed this was a spiritual realm. I believe he called it the dimension of good and evil?
You cannot perceive past the first four, so things could be happening in other dimensions all around you and you'd have no idea.
Plus, God is obviously not limited by physical laws. He created and determined what the physical laws would be and is perfectly capable of manipulating or suspending them.
Also, while there are no witnesses to Mohammad's ascension, he just claimed it, there were hundreds of witnesses to the resurrection and others to the ascension. They men who saw it willingly died for testifying to what they'd seen.
I think you'd do well to realize that since the Creator is so orderly that He creates absolute consistent physical laws, He also has instituted spiritual laws to rule the spiritual dimensions. One of these laws is that death is required to pay for sin. Similar to for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. If you are not going to allow Jesus' death be a substitute for yours, then you should realize you will die eternally.
Spend some time studying the spiritual laws.

I don't believe in Mohammed's ascension.
However, I believe in the ascension of Jesus.
Obviously, friend, if I believe in Jesus, I believe in what the Bible says about God.
The God who has power over life and death, and all of creation, is not limited by the same limitations that humans have.
On the one hand, if Jesus was just human, Jesus could ascend easily if God desired his ascension.
On the other hand, if what the Bible says is true, Jesus was fully God and fully human, so the fully God part of Jesus would be powerful enough to transcend the human limitations about which you wrote.
For people who do not believe in God at all, yes, I can see why they would think the ascension would be an impossibility.

God created the heavens and the earth and He is in control, Jesus is God in the flesh and is able to operate outside of space and time, He ascended in his glorified body which is ready for heaven. Mohammed didn't ascend to heaven because he was under satan's control not God's. Mohammed descended.

I rationalize it by not believing in the bible or qur'an anymore because when you look closely at it, and the history of gods, you realize it has always been something that people made. God is muc h bigger than the bible or qu'ran, and by the way the real godhead is not a sexist as in those books. finally, I believe god has sent nothing to mankind, it's a mystery, and its good that way.

It wouldn't be called a miracle if there was a clear scientific explanation.
And Mohammed's ascension was metaphysical to my knowledge.

Uh, I can`t answer for Muslims. But you can`t go to God in your earth suit (body). You leave the earth suit here. Only your soul goes to God. It doesn`t need air or heat or whatever..
Peace & God bless from Texas.. <><

your an idiot, why choose that as your argument. If they can fly up in the air, they can find a way to keep warm. I dont know about mohommad but if jesus can bring himself and other people back to life, I'm sure he can handle a little chilliness.

They are inhuman. Christ had just risen from the dead, and thus could remain alive in the atmosphere.
