A nice article on existence of God

A nice article on existence of God

A very witty argument .....
Do you believe in God?

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem
science has with Jesus Christ. He asks one of his new students to
stand and.....

Prof: You are a Christian, aren't you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to Jesus to heal
him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But Jesus
didn't. How is this Jesus good then? Hmm? (The student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is
God good?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything.
Correct?
Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?
(The student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these
terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?
(The student has no answer.)

Prof: Tell me, son. Do you believe in Jesus Christ?
Student: Yes, professor, I do.

Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe
the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?
Student: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your Jesus?
Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus, smelt your
Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ or God
for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.

Take Care

Remember:
people will forget what you said ...
people will forget what you did ...
but people will never forget how you made them feel ...



Prof: 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.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: 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,
megaheat, 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?
Prof: 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 it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness
isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't
you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: 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 tour students that they evolved from a monkey?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes,
ofcourse, 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 mind? (The class breaks out into laughter)

Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's mind,
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 mind, 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.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.

=======================

I hope you enjoyed this.

Re: A nice article on existence of God

Sir,
      Your article on the existence of God was indeed very impressive. In this modern world of science and technology, it becomes God vs Science. And people start feeling the sense of atheism and claim experimental proof for the existence of God. But, He is omnipresent. No one can question His being or presence. Thus, the influence of Spiritual insights helps an individual to work with efficiency in any work place which ultimately reflect on the growth and development of  Human resources in an organization.

Love is God and respect towards Humanity is Godliness.

Let your article be a lesson for the people who lack in spiritual insights.

Regards,
Jana

Re: A nice article on existence of God

It is a nice article. We always tend to believe in Science because everybody is doing it . We have seen so many spiritual being who have seen God (Primal Energy/Conciousness) Like Ramakrishna Paramhamsa then y not believe in God and have faith in Him

Re: A nice article on existence of God

It is true how we conveniently prove the absence of things as non-exsostant.

But faith does over-rules all of us.
