The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand. **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 thisGod 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 ? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: From… God… <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: Yes. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And God did make everything. Correct? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: Yes. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: So who created evil? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">(Student did not answer.) <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: Yes, sir. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: So, who created them? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">(Student had no answer.) <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**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? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: No, sir. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: Tell us if you have ever heard your God? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: No, sir. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**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? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: Yet you still believe in Him? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: Yes. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your God doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__Student__: Nothing. I only have my faith. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__Student__: Professor, is there such a thing as heat? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: Yes. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__Student__: And is there such a thing as cold? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: Yes. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__Student__: No, sir. There isn’t. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.) <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">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. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.) <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__Student__: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__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? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: So what is the point you are making, young man? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: Flawed? Can you explain how? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__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. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">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? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__Student__: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.) <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__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? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">(The class was in uproar.) <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">(The class broke out into laughter. ) <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__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? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.) <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">**Professor**: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">__Student__: That is it sir … Exactly ! The link between man & God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">P.S. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you’ll probably want your friends / colleagues to enjoy the same, won’t you? <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">Forward this to increase their knowledge… or FAITH. <span style="color: #363636; font-family: 'Open Sans',sans-serif; font-size: 20px;">By the way, **that student** was **EINSTEIN.**
