An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with GOD THE ALMIGHTY.
He asks one of his new Muslim students to stand and...
Professor : You are a Muslim, aren't you?...
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 this GOD good then? Hmm?
Student : (silent)
Professor : You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fellow. Is GOD good?
Student : Yes
Professor : Is Satan good?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Where does Satan came from?
Student : From......GOD
Professor : Is Satan Good?
Student : No
Professor : That is right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : Evil is everywhere isn't it? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student : Yes
Professor : So who created evil?
Student : (does not answer)
Professor : Is there ugliness? Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student : Yes, sir.
Professor : So who created them?
Student : (has no answer)
Professor : Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, have you ever seen GOD?
Student : No, sir.
Professor : Have you ever heard your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student : I’m afraid I haven’t, sir
Professor : Yet, you still believe in Him?
Student : Yes
Professor : 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.
Professor : Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor : Yes
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor : Yes
Student : No, sir. There isn’t.
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, super heat, mega heat, or no heat. But we don’t have anything called cold. We can hit 45 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we can’t go any further 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, sir, just the absences of it.
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such thing as darkness?
Professor : Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student : You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of light. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light…But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, isn’t it? If you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor : So what is your point young man?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor : Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on premise of duality. You argue there is life and 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 to life is to be ignorant of the facts 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 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?
Professor : ( The Professor shakes his head)
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? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
(silence seized the atmosphere)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class break into laughter)
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard of 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, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
Professor : I guess you will have to take them on faith, son.
Student : That is it sir… The link between man and GOD is faith. That is all that keeps things moving and alive..
