Seeing the world from your own narrow perspective is exactly how the Muslims see the world and their view is wrong.

Whenever we focus, we narrow our perspective. By focusing on God through faith in Christ, we are in a position where He is able to clarify our perception by Divine standards. Seeing God through faith in Christ allows God to further our understanding. Narrow perspective isn't wrong, but if one narrows their perspective by focusing on anything other than through what God has provided for that perspective, then we blur Him altogether.

Ok, I will have a little fun with you :) I will assume that you are a Christian who believes in the Nicaean Creed. That God is an Omniscient, Omnipotent, etc. being.

Well that Omniscient being is demonstrably false based on the superposition theory in QM, more commonly called Heisenberg's Uncertainty principle. The general idea is that you can know the Position or the Momentum of a particle but not both. Hence an Omniscient being doesn't exist.

Clearly your mental map and perception of the world is wrong. Everyones mental map is wrong, so I am not just picking on you :) The question then becomes when you discover that your mental map of the world is in conflict with reality do you change your mental map or do you deny reality and persist in maintaining your mental map?

When Muslims are faced with this problem they deny reality in the face of all the evidence. There is a reason why the Muslims do not lead the world in anything.
