An Atheist professor of philosophy was speaking to his class the problem that science has with God, the Almighty. He asked one of his Christian students to stand and began to ask him questions.
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 those who are ill... but God didn't. How is this God GOOD then, hmm??
Student: *silence*
Professor: You can't answer, can you? Alright, let's try again... Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From... God...
Professor: Thats right. Now tell me, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil?
Student: *silence*
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All of these terrible things exist in the world don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So who created them?
Student: *silence*
Professor: Science says you have five senses to identify and observe the world around you... tell me, have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Have you ever HEARD 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 stil belive in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to empiracle, testable, demonstratable protocol, science says there is no God. What do you say to that?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem that science has.
Student: Professor, is there such thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: Is there a such thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir. There isn't.
*Whole room grows silent*
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, megaheat, white heat, a little heat, or no heat. But we don't have anything called heat. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can't go any lower than 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, sire, just the absence of it.
*Classroom is still silent*
Student: What about darkness, sir? Is there a such thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there is no darkness?
Student: Your wrong again, sir. Darkness is just the absence of light. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if you have no light, it's called darkness.
Professor: What is the point that you're making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is that your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue that there is life and the there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something thaat 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 monkeys?
Professor: If you're referring to the natural evolutionary process, then yes I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, professor?
*The Professor shook his head*
Student: Since no one has ever witnessed the evolutionary process at work and cannot prove that this process is an ongoing endeavor, are you then not preaching your own opinion sir? Are you then not a scientist, but instead a preacher?
*the class was in an uproar*
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professors brain?
*the class began to laugh*
Student: Has anyone here heard the professors brain? Felt it, touched it, smelt it, or tasted it? No one has appeared to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empiracle, stable, demonstratable protocol, science says you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, how can we then trust your lectures?
Professor: I guess you'll just have to take them on faith, son.
Student: Thats just it, sir. The link between man and God is faith.
