An Interesting Conversation

2009 June 30

Do you believe in God? I got the following conversation in a forward email and I thought it worth posting here. I would like to hear what people have to say about believing in the God.

A Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the Problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY.
He asks one of his new students to stand and . . .

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 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 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 y! ou 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.

    Whatever the logic may be given, I still could not believe in God! :|

      why you don’t believe in GOD..? Why are you here in this world..? God is the center of all life in this world and he is our creator and savior..

    Faith and only faith can prove the existence of GOD, no such arguments will be needed for them who belive in Him (or Her??? ;) ) and for those who chose not to believe, these arguments are anyway useless!

    have you read my poems on God?

  5. 2009 June 30

    Hahaha, DOG and GOD :)

  6. 2009 July 1

    Hmmm

  7. 2009 July 1

    Really, very interesting!

  8. 2009 July 2

    I guess the student was Einstein?
    And I believe in God. Definitely.

    Those who believe can give remarkable arguments to prove their faith. In fact it is impossible to argue against faith! I personally am an agnostic and do believe in a power, a spirit, a higher spirit but frankly I would not bother to convince anyone about it and I would hate anyone trying to talk me out of it!!

    interesting conversation…. :)

  11. 2009 July 4

    Faith – Is there something called as no faith? :D

  12. 2009 July 5

    There is a devil somewhere …. that is for sure ….. :P

    wonderful explanation by the student.you are a genius

    I kinda liked this post upto this point – “Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir?”.. then it was sad.. there are many ways to prove evolution like how would you explain dinosaur/mammoth fossils? and what about the life on Earth before human beings came into existence? did God kill all of them at the same time? I am not an atheist but I believe in evolution :)

    Very nice! This is a good one! I’m sending this out! :)

    Cold is just the absence of Heat.
    Darkness is just the absence of Light.
    Death is just the absence of life.

    Awesome quotes. I loved this post.

    Yesterday i got one great example of existence of divine power over Man.
    Here is an example:
    If you take most intellect people of World, ask them to create a peanut from soil water and minerals, which normally a plant does is it possible?

    Nice post

    not carl but Groucho!

    Flawed Logic. A single question to floor a philosopher? Really!

    God is in nature, he is in beauty, he is in our thoughts. Let him be!
