An Atheist Professor
Atheist ProfessorAn Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his class on the Problem that Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New ChristianStudents to stand and the Professor asked himYou are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student Yes, sir.
Professor So, you believe in GOD?
Student Absolutely, sir.
Professor Is GOD Good ?
Student Absolutely sir.
Professor Is GOD ALL – POWERFUL?
Student Yes sir.
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 then a good GOD ?Tell me?
(Student was silent)
Professor You can’t answer that, can you? Let me ask you again, Young man. 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 is that correct?
Student Yes.
Professor So who created evil?
(Student did not answer)
Professor You agree that there are terrible things that exist in this world like Sickness? Immorality?Hatred?Ugliness?
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 sir.
Professor According to empirical, testable, verifiablerotocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student Nothingsir . I only have my Faith.
Professor Yes,Faith. And that is the Problem cience has.
The Student then said Professorcan I ask you a few questions?
Professor Certainly go ahead
Student Is there such a thing as heat?
Professor Yes.
Student And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor Yes.
Student No, sir you are wrong, 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 turn the temperature down to 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 Theatre)
Student What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor Yes. What shall we call 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, or Flashing Light .But if you constantly have o Light, you have nothing so we call it darkness, don’t we? In reality, darkness doesn’t exist. If it did, then you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor So what is the point you are making, Young Man?
StudentSir, my point is your hilosophical remise is flawed
Professor Flawed? Can you explain that?
Student Sir, you are working on the Premise of duality.You argue that 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 seeneither, much less fully understand them. To view Death as the opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing(important, real, or meaningful).Death is ot 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 mile, beginning to realize where the Argument was going)
Student Since no one has ever observed the rocess of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this rocess is an on-going effort, 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 rain, felt it, touched or melt it? . .
No one appears to have done so.
So, according to the Established Rules of empirical, table, verifiablerotocol, cience then says that you have o rain, 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 expressionless)
The Professor then replied….I guess,son that you’ll have to take them on faith.
Student That is it sir . . . Exactly! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.
