Long .. but deserve

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

.... He asks one of his new Muslim students to stand and

Professor: You are a Muslim, aren't you, son

Student : Yes, sir

Prof: So you believe in God

Student : Absolu Does exist 22-72.gif

y, 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 Does exist 22-72.gif

l 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
