Professor : You are a Christian, aren\u2019t you, son ?<\/p>\n
Student : Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
Professor: So, you believe in GOD ?<\/p>\n
Student : Absolutely, sir.<\/p>\n
Professor : Is GOD good ?<\/p>\n
Student : Sure.<\/p>\n
Professor: Is GOD all powerful ?<\/p>\n
Student : Yes.<\/p>\n
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal
\nhim. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn\u2019t.
\nHow is this GOD good then? Hmm?<\/p>\n
(Student was silent.)<\/p>\n
Professor: You can\u2019t answer, can you ? Let\u2019s start again, young fella. Is
\nGOD good?<\/p>\n
Student : Yes.<\/p>\n
Professor: Is satan good ?<\/p>\n
Student : No.<\/p>\n
Professor: Where does satan come from ?<\/p>\n
Student : From \u2026 GOD \u2026<\/p>\n
Professor: That\u2019s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?<\/p>\n
Student : Yes.<\/p>\n
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn\u2019t it ? And GOD did make everything.
\nCorrect?<\/p>\n
Student : Yes.<\/p>\n
Professor: So who created evil ?<\/p>\n
(Student did not answer.)<\/p>\n
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these
\nterrible things exist in the world, don\u2019t they?<\/p>\n
Student : Yes, sir.<\/p>\n
Professor: So, who created them ?<\/p>\n
(Student had no answer.)<\/p>\n
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe
\nthe world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?<\/p>\n
Student : No, sir.<\/p>\n
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?<\/p>\n
Student : No , sir.<\/p>\n
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD?
\nHave you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?<\/p>\n
Student : No, sir. I\u2019m afraid I haven\u2019t.<\/p>\n
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?<\/p>\n
Student : Yes.<\/p>\n
Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol,
\nScience says your GOD doesn\u2019t exist. What do you say to that, son?<\/p>\n
Student : Nothing. I only have my faith.<\/p>\n
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.<\/p>\n
Student : Professor, is there such a thing as heat?<\/p>\n
Professor: Yes.<\/p>\n
Student : And is there such a thing as cold?<\/p>\n
Professor: Yes.<\/p>\n
Student : No, sir. There isn\u2019t.<\/p>\n
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)<\/p>\n
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, mega
\nheat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But we don\u2019t have anything
\ncalled cold. We can hit 458 degrees below zero which is no heat, but we
\ncan\u2019t go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold. Cold is
\nonly a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold.
\nHeat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of
\nit.<\/p>\n
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)<\/p>\n
Student : What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?<\/p>\n
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn\u2019t darkness?<\/p>\n
Student : You\u2019re wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something.
\nYou can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light. But if
\nyou have no light constantly, you have nothing and its called darkness,
\nisn\u2019t it? In reality, darkness isn\u2019t. If it is, well you would be able to
\nmake darkness darker, wouldn\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man ?<\/p>\n
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.<\/p>\n
Professor: Flawed ? Can you explain how?<\/p>\n
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there
\nis life and then there is death, a good GOD and a bad GOD. You are viewing
\nthe concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure. Sir,
\nScience can\u2019t even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism,
\nbut has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as
\nthe opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist
\nas a substantive thing.<\/p>\n
Death is not the opposite of life: just the absence of it. Now tell me,
\nProfessor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?<\/p>\n
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes,
\nof course, I do.<\/p>\n
Student : Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?<\/p>\n
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the
\nargument was going.)<\/p>\n
Student : Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work
\nand cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor. Are you
\nnot teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?<\/p>\n
(The class was in uproar.)<\/p>\n
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor\u2019s
\nbrain?<\/p>\n
(The class broke out into laughter. )<\/p>\n
Student : Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor\u2019s brain,
\nfelt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, according
\nto the established Rules of Empirical, Stable, Demonstrable Protocol,
\nScience says that you have no brain, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do
\nwe then trust your lectures, sir?<\/p>\n
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face
\nunfathomable.)<\/p>\n
Professor: I guess you\u2019ll have to take them on faith, son.<\/p>\n
Student : That is it sir \u2026 Exactly ! The link between man & GOD is FAITH.
\nThat is all that keeps things alive and moving.<\/p>\n
P.S.<\/p>\n
I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. And if so, you\u2019ll probably
\nwant your friends \/ colleagues to enjoy the same, won\u2019t you?<\/p>\n
Forward this to increase their knowledge \u2026 or FAITH.<\/p>\n
By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.<\/p>\n
——————————————Cute Story but not true<\/p>\n
For those looking for a quick answer to the question of whether this item is literally true, we’ll state up front that it is not. The account related above is neither a recorded incident from the life of Albert Einstein, nor is congruent with that scientist’s on the subject of religion.<\/p>\n
Albert Einstein<\/a>‘s religious views<\/strong>\u00a0have been studied due to his sometimes apparently ambiguous statements and writings on the subject. He believed in the god of\u00a0Baruch Spinoza<\/a>, but not in apersonal god<\/a>, a belief which he criticized. He also called himself an\u00a0agnostic<\/a>, and criticized\u00a0atheism<\/a>, preferring he said “an attitude of humility.”[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n Snopes.com<\/p>\n http:\/\/www.snopes.com\/religion\/einstein.asp<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Professor : You are a Christian, aren\u2019t you, son ?
