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 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 theater 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 theater.)
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, well 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.
