An Atheist
Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problems 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, Uhm?
(Student was silent)
Professor:
You can't answer, can you? Let's
start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
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
your GOD 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, 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 Endeavour, 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.
