No God or Know God?
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 fellow. 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
Its 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 you’re 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 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..................
