Don't
miss even a single word... Too good. .....GO
UP TO LAST SENTENCE.....
An atheist
professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has
with God, The Almighty.
He asks one of his new students to stand
and.....
Prof:‘So you believe
in God?’
Student:
‘Absolutely, sir. ‘
Prof:
Is God good?
Student:
Sure.
Prof:
Is God all-powerful?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
My brother died of cancer even
though he prayed to God to heal him.
Most of us would attempt to help
others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then?
Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof:
You can't answer, can you? Let's
start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
Is Satan good?
Student:
No.
Prof:
Where does Satan come
from?
Student:
From...God...
Prof:
That's right. Tell me son, is there
evil in this world?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And
God did make everything. Correct?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
So who created
evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof:
Is there sickness? Immorality?
Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't
they?
Student:
Yes,
sir.
Prof:
So, who created
them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof:
Science says you have 5 senses you
use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you
ever seen God?
Student:
No,
sir.
Prof:
Tell us if you have
ever heard your God?
Student:
No, sir.
Prof:
Have you ever felt
your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory
perception of God for that matter?
Student:
No, sir. I'm afraid I
haven't.
Prof:
Yet you still
believe in Him?
Student:
Yes.
Prof:
According to
empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't
exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student:
Nothing. I only have my
faith.
Prof:
Yes. Faith. And
that is the problem science has.
Student:
Professor, is
there such a thing as heat?
Prof:
Yes.
Student:
And is there such a thing as
cold?
Prof:
Yes.
Student:
No sir. There isn't.
(The
lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student:
Sir, you can have lots of
heat, even more heat, superheat, mega heat, white heat, a little heat or
no heat. But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees
below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any further after
that.
There is no such thing as cold. Cold is only a word we use to
describe the absence of heat.
We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy.
Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it .
(There
is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student:
What about darkness,
Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof:
Yes. What is night if there isn't
darkness?
Student:
You're
wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low
light, normal light, bright light, flashing light....But if you have no
light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In
reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness
darker, wouldn't you?
Prof:
So
what is the point you are making, young man?
Student:
Sir, my point is your
philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof:
Flawed? Can you explain
how?
Student:
Sir, you are
working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there
is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as
something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even
explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen,
much less fully understood either one.To view death as the opposite of
life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a
substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of
it.
Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they
evolved from a monkey?
Prof:
If
you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I
do.
Student:
Have you ever
observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his
head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is
going.)
Student:
Since no
one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even
prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your
opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in
uproar.)
Student:
Is there
anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain? (The class
breaks out into laughter.)
Student:
Is there anyone here who has
ever heard the Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one
appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of
empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no
brain,sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures,
sir? (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)
Prof:
I guess
you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student:
That is it sir... The link
between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving
& alive.
This is a true
story, and the student was none other than.........
