Dear Diary I came across this post written on another blog and I just had to share it, it isn't to impose God on anyone nor for them to be forced to change their views but for them to use their common sense. So my dearest diary here it goes :
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: Of course!
Professor: Is God almighty?
Student: Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer, although he often prayed for God to heal him. Many of us would try to help someone in need. Yet God didn’t help him. So how can God be good? Hmm?
[The student remained silent]
Professor: You don’t have an answer do you? Let's start this conversation over, young man. Is God good?"
Student: Yes.
Professor: And Satan, is he good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From... God...
Professor: That's right. Tell me, son. Does evil exist in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And didn’t God create everything?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So, who created evil?
[The student didn’t answer]
Professor: Is there sickness in this world? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness. All the terrible things… don’t they exist in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Who created them?
[The student didn’t have an answer]
Professor: Science says you have five senses that you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen God?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Tell me, have you ever heard your God speak?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God or smelled your God? In fact, have you ever sensed your God at all?
Student: No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to the rules of empirical, testable and demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing, I have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. That is what science has a problem with.
Student: Professor, is there such thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: Is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir, there isn't.
(The classroom became very quiet)
Student: You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit 273 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further than that. There is no such thing as cold. Otherwise, we would be able to go colder than -273°C. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat can be measured in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(The classroom remained in silence)
Student: And what about darkness, professor? Does darkness exist?
Professor: Yes. What is night, if it isn't darkness?
Student: You are wrong again, sir. Darkness is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light or flashing light, but if you have no constant light, you have nothing and it’s called darkness, right? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it 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 that 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 wither 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 evolve 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 else in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class breaks out in laughter)
Student: Is there anyone 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 and God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving and alive.

P.S.:
Diary I am sure you enjoyed this conversation the way I did :). And if you did, then whom ever is reading this part of my diary will probably want their friends and colleagues to enjoy it too, right?
Share this with them to increase their knowledge, or faith.
