Albert Einstein & God

Note: From an email.

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his class on the problem Science has with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his new Christian students to stand.

Professor: You're 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're ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmmm?
(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 did not answer)

Professor: Science says you've 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you. Tell me, son... Have you ever feel GOD?
Student: No, sir.

Professor: Tell us if you've 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's 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 theater 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's 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've No Light constantly, you've nothing and it's called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is, you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?

Professor: So what is the point you're making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is, your Philosophical Premise is flawed.

Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you're working on the Premise of Duality. You argue there's Life and then there's Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You're 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're 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've 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's it sir... Exactly! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

That student was ALBERT EINSTEIN.
