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, smell 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 theatre 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, were 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.
