Why I believe in God

I thought this was the best thing posted on the alley......
sialp


An Atheist 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.....

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 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.)

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?

(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?

(Student has no answer.)

Prof: 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.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, or smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?

Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

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, 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?

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 man 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 ******?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, then 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 endeavour, are you not teaching your own opinion, sir? Are you not a preacher rather than a scientist?

(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 smelled 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.)

Prof: 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.

Now guess who the student is

Albert Einstein

As a fan of Einstein, I'm gonna have to say he was a great physicist but not a great philosopher. :p

GOOOOO EINSTEIN!

Brilliant. Science tends to apply standards to Christianity that they don't apply to themselves.

Monkeys evolved into humans but there is NO proof. People are led to believe that because their are some pictures and STORIES of evolution that we were once monkeys. But god proves himself over science everyday and because we want to live life our way we try and and every way to discredit him.
:ohwell:

I think this is an overall great example, but the bolded part I do not understand at all. No cold?????? No darkeness???? Whaat? I've also never heard this, did Einstein really say this? I thought he was an Atheist. :ohwell:

:ohwell:
I've always thought that people have evolved a little, like gotten taller, and stuff like that. But if we evolved from monkeys, then why do we still have them?? Are the just underdeveloped humans lol???? None of the evolutionists have an answer to that, ever!

I thought he was an atheist as well. :ohwell:

Berry, I'm no scientist, in fact science hates my guts :lol: , but this is how I see it : The concept of cold is based on the concept of heat. Heat is a measurement of energy... (molecules in motion...the faster they move the more energy they have- the hotter the matter) Cold is also measured as a degree energy. (the molecules are simply moving much slower or are no longer moving- less motion, less heat) Heat can't be the opposite of cold because then cold would = no energy. That is impossible because when something cools the energy is not destroyed-- it just changes form. Temperature measures heat energy, whether its high (hot) or low, what we call cold. Cold is just less and less heat. In science, its all heat energy- no matter how cold we percieve it. :lol:
'
The same with darkness. We only have measurements for light- not darkness. Our concept of darkness is based on our concept of light. We can quantify light ...and degrees of light, not degrees of darkness. Darkness is simply less and less light. Its all light, no matter how dark we percieve it. :lol:

But then again, scientists correct me :lol:
