check it out i got this really nice story
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: You are a Hindu, 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 Go 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,
smelled 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.
suddenly a student asks a question to the prof,,
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 smelled
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.
