READ THIS!! [very interesting]

An atheist professor of philosophy
speaks to his class on the problem
science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new Christian
students to stand and…..

Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t
you, son?

Student : Yes, sir.

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 endeavour, 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.
