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: 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 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.

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

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'sbrain, 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.

That young man was ALBERT EINSTEIN.......

[Singh23]

So E=mc² isn't the greatest thing he came up with!

[Papi]

That young man was ALBERT EINSTEIN.......

I thought this was Abdul Kalaam, current president of India

[Nehmat]

That young man was ALBERT EINSTEIN.......

I thought this was Abdul Kalaam, current president of India

Are you serious? :umm:

I thought the current president of India is Pratibha Patel...They changed her?!

[Papi]

Oh, did I say current? I really meant EX president of India :D

[Nehmat]

Oh, did I say current? I really meant EX president of India :D

He was really honest...I liked him...This new lady is only in for her family...

Sometimes she's busy saving her brother from murder charges and other times she's busy helping her husband with elections... No time for the country...it's all about MY FAMILY *sigh*

[Papi]

India needs people like Dr. Abdul Kalaam and Dr. Manmohan Singh as leaders.

It's amazing. Einstein was really a great man. Sad that there aren't so many Einsteins *g*
