THE Creator of Life and The Universe singling out an individual male from The Middle East as "The Apple of HIS Eye",
or
Arab ego?
Hows about we stop squabbling over the past and which ancient Arab story is the true and correct pathway to The God of Abraham as described in The Torah, The New Testament and The Qur'an, instead celebrate The God of (insert your name here), and start looking forward to our species working together to explore the stars?
Just a thought....
It's all about how a message about a future event can pass along humans in the timeline of humanity. Starting from Abraham and his descendants the Jews, a whole theology has been passed along accurately (in comparison to any other human documents). The theological accuracy can be told by comparing today's Jewish Bible with the contents of Dead Sea Scrolls.
In another word, if you have a theology about a future lying ahead of humans and would like this theology to pass along humans across history, from no paper till after the invention of paper, you need to do the same and by employing a religion. (of course provided that you have a good reason to hide behind instead of showing up to humans to tell them directly, the Christianity God can't show up to everyone because humans need faith to be saved in accordance to a covenant currently in place)
The Dead Sea Scroll says that humans can have a library of books survived more than 2000 years by means of a religion. No secular ancient manuscripts can ever survive this long, such that today's human can come to the conclusion that what the God said in OT more than 2000 years ago, remains theologically the same as what humans read today. No other secular documents can have this effect, simply no any set of books with their ancient manuscripts can survive a 2000 years of human history for today's humans to make such a comparison (i.e., today's contents as a set of books versus the same set of books in ancient manuscripts).
