> VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION
>
> An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .
>
> Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
> Student : Yes, sir.
> Professor : So, you Believe in GOD?
> Student : Absolutely, sir.
> Professor : Is GOD Good ?
> Student : Sure.
> Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL?
> Student : Yes.
> Professor : 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 was silent )
>
> Professor : You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GODGood?
> Student : Yes.
> Professor : Is Satan good ?
> Student : No.
> Professor : Where does Satan come from ?
> Student : From . . . GOD. . .
> Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
> Student : Yes.
> Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
> Student : Yes.
> Professor : So who created evil ?
>
> (Student did not answer)
>
> Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
> Student : Yes, sir.
> Professor : So, who Created them ?
>
> (Student had no answer)
>
> Professor : 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.
> Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
> Student : No , sir.
> Professor : 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.
> Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM?
> Student : Yes.
> Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says yourGOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
> Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.
> Professor : Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.
> Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
> Professor : Yes.
> Student : And is there such a thing as Cold?
> Professor : Yes.
> Student : No, sir. There isn't.
>
> (The Lecture Theatre became 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 was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )
>
> Student : What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
> Professor : 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 its called Darkness, isn't it?
> In reality, Darkness isn't.
> If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
> Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
> Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
> Professor : 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?
> Professor : 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 shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was 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 was in Uproar )
>
> Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?
>
> (The Class broke 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 was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)
>
> Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
> Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly !
> The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
> That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.
>
>
> NB:
>
> I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so,
> you'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . won't you?
> Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . . or FAITH.
> That student was Albert Einstein.
