they are alike in the sense that they were created without a father. So two deductions are brought forth here.
1. if it is said that the Islamic argument warrants Jesus to be a bastard, then the same can also be applied to Adam who likewise had no father, and no mother for that matter. However, the idea of bastardization is refuted for both of them because the basis of ALL creation that takes place is based on Allah's allowance of the thing to be created by saying "be" and in light of that verdict, it becomes.
However, the basis of revealing this verse was in refutation of the pagan argument formalized by the Christians who maintained that due to this miracle, it sanctions the idea that he is the son of God, completely dismissing that this phrasal was actually a common idiomatic usage among the hebrew and semetic language as a form of figurative speech. Part of the misguidance of the newly formed Christian nation in trying to understand the scriptural texts was that they were reading semetic scripture within a greek lense, thereby crippling their understanding of the texts.
Nevertheless, the second deduction that is commonly made is
2. that because of this, Jesus is the son of God, thus Allah revealed this verse as a refutation of this concept that they invented which legalized a form of idolatry. In light fo this predominant ideology, the quotes below are enough supplemental information
Ibn Kathir says in his commentary of the Qur'an...
Therefore, He Who created Adam without a father or a mother is able to create `Isa (Jesus), as well, without a father. If the claim is made that `Isa is Allah's son because he was created without a father, then the same claim befits Adam even more. However, since such a claim regarding Adam is obviously false, then making the same claim about `Isa is even more false. (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
Al Suyuti says in his commentary...
Truly, the likeness of Jesus, his remarkable case, in God's sight, is as Adam's likeness, as the case of Adam, whom God created without father or mother: this is a comparison of one remarkable thing with another more remarkable, so that it convinces the disputer and establishes itself in one's mind more effectively. He created him, Adam, that is, his form, of dust, then said He to him, 'Be,', a human being, and he was; similarly, He said to Jesus, 'Be' - without a father - and he was. (Jalal ud-Din Siyuti, Tafsir al-Jalalayn, Commentary on Surah 3:59)
