God And Faith by xpac01(m): 8:40pm On Oct 10, 2015
I Just saw this on Facebook and thought it would be nice to share.
Lets put your logic to the test
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.
P.S.
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 this to increase their knowledge … or
FAITH.
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.

Lies. This is pure fiction. Written by someone who doesn't understand science.

Plus Einstein was not religious.
