Message: <blockquote data-quote="chamindra" data-source="post: 5618130" data-attributes="member: 2159">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 fellow. IsGod 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. . . . . . .  WANT TO KNOW WHO THAT STUDENT  WAS .  - - this is a true story, and  the student was none other than.........
