Do you believe in God?

An atheist professor of philosophy speak to his class on the problem science has with God. He asks one of his students in his class... Professor: Do u believe in God, son? Student: Yes, sir. Prof: So u believe in God? S: Absolutely, sir. Prof: Is God good? S: Sure. P: Is God all- powerful? S: Yes. P: 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.) P: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is God good? S: Yes. P: Is Satan good? S: No. P: Where does Satan come from? S: FRom... God... P: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world? S: Yes. P: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct? S: Yes. P: Who created evil? (Student does not answer.) P: Is there sickness? Immorality? hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they? S: Yes, sir. P: So, who created them? (Student has no answer.) P: Science says u have 5 senses u use to identify & observe the world around u. Tell me, son... Have u ever seen God? S: No, sir. P: Tell us if u hv ever heard ur God? S: No, sir. P: Hv u ever felt ur God, tasted ur God, smelt ur God? Have u ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter? S: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't. P: Yet u still believe in Him? S: Yes. P: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says ur GOD doesn't exist. What do u say to that, son? S: Nothing. I only have my faith. P: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has. S: Professor, is there such a thing as heat? P: yes. S: And is there such a thing as cold? P: Yes. S: No sir. There isn't. (The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.) S: Sir, u can hv 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, b ut 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 pi- drop silence in the lecture theatre.) S: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness? P: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness? S: You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of sth. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light... But iof u have no light constantly, u hv nth & it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were u would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't u? P: So what is the point u're making, young man? S: Sir, my point is your philosophical is flawed. P: Flawed? Can u explain how? S: Sir, u're working on the premise of duality. U argue there is life & then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as sth finite, something we can measure. sir, science can't even explain a thought. It uses electricity & magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully underdstood 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 u teach ur students that they evolved from a monkey? P: If u are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of coz, I do. S: Have u ever observed evolution w/ ur own eyes, sir? (The Professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realise where the argument is going.) S: Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution @ work & cannot even prove that this process is an on- going endeavor, are u not teaching ur opinion, sir? Are u not a scientist but a preacher? (The class is in uproar.) S: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain? (The class breaks out into laughter.) S: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor's brain, feltit, 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 u hv no brain sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust ur lectures, sir? (The room is silent. The professor stares @ the student, his face unfathomable.) P: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son. S: That is it sire.. The link b/w man & God is FAITH.
