A Discussion Between An Atheist Professor And His Student by Ajibam: 4:00pm On Nov 30, 2013
An atheist professor speaks to his class on the problem Science has with God..
He asks one of his new students to stand..

prof:You believe in God?

Student :Absolutely

prof:Is God good?

student :sure
prof:Is God all powerful?

student:Yes

prof:My brother died of cancer even though ge prayed to God to heal him, But God didn't. How is this God good then?
(student is silent)

prof:you can't answer, can you? Let's start again. Young fella. Is God good?

student:Yes

prof:Ok, tell me sin, 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 smelt, Heard, Tasted God?

Student :No sir

prof:Science says your God doesn't exist, what do you say to that son?

student :Nothing, i have only my Faith

prof:Yes Faith, And that is the problem Science has. Now its student Turn

student :sir my point is your philosophical premise of duality.
You argue there is life and then death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure.
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 opposite of life:just the absence of it
Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from monkey?

prof: if you 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 realise 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 ongoing endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, Sir?

student :Is there anyone in the class who has ever heard 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. Science should say that you have no brain, Sir with all due respect, sir how do we then trust your lecturers, sir?

prof: I guess you'll have to take them on FAITH, son

student : That is it sir, The link between man and God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving and alive

There is God,he loves you,take him by faith.
