        *_ No God or Know God?_*
        **

        *An atheist professor of philosophy* speaks to his class on the
        problem Science has with God, The Almighty.
         
         
        He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

        Prof: *So you believe in God*?

        Student: *Absolutely, sir*.


        Prof: Is God good?

        Student: Sure.

        Prof: Is God all-powerful?

        Student: Yes.


        Prof: 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 is silent.)
         
         
        Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young
        fellow. Is God good?

        Student: Yes.


        Prof:* Is Satan good* ?

        Student: No.


        Prof: Where does Satan come from?

        Student: From...God.. .
         
         
        Prof: That's right. Tell me son, 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 God?

        Student: No, sir.



        Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

        Student: No, sir.


        Prof: 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.



        Prof: *Yet you still believe in Him* ?

        Student: Yes.



        Prof: 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.



        Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.



        Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

        Prof: Yes.



        Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

        Prof: Yes.



        Student: No sir. There isn't.


        (*The lecture theatre becomes 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 is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre* .)


        Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing
        as darkness?

        Prof: 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 were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?



        Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

        Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

        Prof: 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?


        Prof: 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 shakes his head with a smile, beginning to
        realize 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 on-going
        endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a
        scientist but a preacher?


        (*The class is in uproar* .)


        Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen 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. 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 is silent *. The professor stares at the student, his
        face unfathomable. )



        Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.


        Student: That is it sir... *The link between man & god is FAITH* .

        That is all that keeps things moving & alive....... ......... ..
