An
Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with
GOD, The ALMIGHTY.
He
asks 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 is 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 does 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 has 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 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
?
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 it's 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 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
Professor
: 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.
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 . . .
