Theory of Holy Ghost

The Biblical Version
Says the Bible:
"And the angle answered and said into her: 'The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee" (Luke 1:35)
Can't you see that you are giving the atheist, the skeptic, the agnostic a stick to beat you with? They may well ask "How did the Holy Ghost come upon Mary?" "How did the Highest overshadow her?" We know that literally it does not mean that: that it was an immaculate conception, but the language used here, is distasteful. Now contrast this with the language of the Qur’ân:

The Qur’ânic Version
"He said (the angel says in reply): 'Even so: Allah (God) createth what He willeth: when He hath decreed a plan, He but saith to it, 'Be,' and it is!' " (3:47)
This is the Muslim concept of the birth of Jesus. For God to create a Jesus, without a human father, He merely has to will it. If He wants to create a million Jesus' without fathers or mothers, He merely wills them into existence. He does not have to take seeds and transfer them, like men or animals by contact or artificial insemination . He wills everything into being by His word of command "Be" and "It is".
There is nothing new in what I am telling you, I reminded the Reverend. It is in the very first Book of your Holy Bible, Genesis 1:3 "And God said..." What did He say? He said "Be" and "It was". He did not have to articulate the words. This is our way of understanding the word "Be", that He willed everything into being.

Ok ,...I see your point. Take the verse apart and lets see what it says.

Luke 1:35 - "And the angel answered and said to her, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow (#1982 - to cast a shade upon or envelop in a haze of brilliancy) you; and for that reason the holy offspring(#40 & #1080) shall be called the Son of God.

It does sort of sound like the Holy Spirit is forceful, but in context of the whole verse we read that it's not.
