Relation Between God And Science

Please excuse the length of this post. But u will surely be addicted to it once u start to read it

An atheist professor of Philosophy was

speaking to his class on the problem

Science has with GOD. He asked 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 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 ?

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 did 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 had 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 became 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 was pin-drop silence in the

lecture theater.)

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 shook his head with a

smile, beginning to realize where the

argument was 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 was in uproar.)

Student : Is there anyone in the class

who has ever seen the Professor's

brain?

(The class broke 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 was silent. The Professor

stared at the student, his face

unfathomable.)

Professor: I guess you'll have to take

them on faith, son.

Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly ! The

link between man & GOD is FAITH.

That is all that keeps things alive and

moving.

P.S.

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 this to increase their

knowledge . . . or FAITH.

By the way, that student was Me
