The Conversation

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY.He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and..

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 this GOD good then? Hmm?
( Student is 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 fro ?
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. Correct?
Student : Yes.
Professor : So who created evil ?
(Student does not answer)
Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? 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, 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.
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.

( 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?
Professor : 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 is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor : 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?
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 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 Endeavor, 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. )
Professor : 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.

NB:
I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so . . .
You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same .. . . won't you?
Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . .. or FAITH.
It turned out later that the student is Albert Einstein.
note: However, no confirmation was made if this student was indeed Albert Einstein... well its something to think about, isn't it?

Love and Bicycle [error: unfinished draft. accidentally posted]

I guess falling in love is like riding a bicycle. At first you're afraid to give it a try because you already knew that what most people believed in is that you can't go on and learn to ride successfully unless you experience knee and elbow scratches, bumps, drops, and pains. You stumble and fall. Yet your adventurous spirit tell you to continue, pedal, and drive in spite of the unsteadiness of your balance.

There is also moments when you want to learn by yourself and test how far you can go but you can't drive fast all the way forward. You stop by when you see a rock, afraid you might stumble. You slow down when you notice a car heading on your direction for fear of getting bumped. You pause when you're near a canal or a manhole, scared you might drop yourself into it. You're frightened when little children suddenly cross the streets, that's why you hit the brakes and yell at them even though you are more than a meter away afraid you might hit them. Lastly, you refuse to give in when someone skilled enough challenges you to a race, especially in a busy street, fearful you might collide with them and get hurt. Well, whatever your fears are, bottom line is, you don't give your whole self into it. Something keeps you from moving your way forward.

You can't love if you don't give yourself wholeheartedly. Love is giving. It is by sowing love that you reap love. It involves trusting yourself ????ambot

Such a Looong Summer...

Sigh. I'm not and I guess I will not be having much fun like I've planned it to be. I'm taking a summer class (and we all know that summer lessons are being taught swiftly since classes are only accomplished in a short period of time) so that's why I'm torn between whether I should unwind a little bit or focus more on my lessons. Whew!


***Consolation and Inspiration to the Soul:
~I can do it! Focus! Focus! Focus!

Keep it easy... Study in advance... Practice and practice...

Set your mind to the bright tomorrow after all the hardships are finished.
