between a professor and the student.....
between a professor and the student.....
you will be amazed..... :)
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 theater 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
theater.)
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.
