A VERY INTERESTING CONVERSATION

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 and . . .
-
Professor : You are 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 are ill. But GOD didn't. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
-
(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 had no answer)
-
Professor : 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.
Professor : Tell us if you have 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 is 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 Theatre 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 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 was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )
-
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 have No Light constantly, you have nothing and its 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 are making, Young Man ?
Student : Sir, my point is 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 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 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 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 have 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 is it sir . . .. Exactly ! The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

NB:I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so ... . You'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . . won't you? Forward them to Increase their Knowledge . . . or FAITH. That student was Albert Einstein.

super tired these days. maybe its the lack of sleep. or maybe its just the lack of direction. thinking of the future really gets me down. especially when i'm not certain of where i'm headed. i know where i wanna see myself eventually but as for how to get there, i haven't much of a clue. i rmb pastor daniel mentioned once that, during his converstion with a taxi driver, he asked the taxi driver whether driving passengers around was tiring...and the taxi driver replied that the most tiring part of his job, was to drive aimlessly looking for passengers. now i know its true. i'm casting my nets everywhere, hoping to get something. but yet, i know i should be focused. anyway, i thought this was a good quote made by

Einstein: I never think of the future, it comes soon enough.

i'm gonna do just that. take one step at a time, there's no need to rush...

zzzzz

There's another interesting fact i learned about the eagle today...

The Eagle tests before it trusts. When a female eagle meets a male and they want to mate, she flies down to earth with the male pursuing her and she picks a twig. She flies back into the air with the male pursuing her. Once she has reached a height high enough for her, she lets the twig fall to the ground and watches it as it falls. The male chases after the twig. The faster it falls, the faster he chases it. He has to catch it before it falls to the ground. He then brings it back to the female eagle. The female eagle grabs the twig and flies to a higher altitude and then drops the twig for the male to chase. This goes on for hours, with the height increasing until the female eagle is assured that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig, then and only then, will she allow him to mate with her.

Wanna know why?

Ans: During the time of training the young eaglets to fly, the mother eagle pushes them off the cliff into the air. As they shriek in fear, father eagle flies out and catches them up on his back before they fall and brings them back to the cliff. This goes on for sometime until they start flapping their wings and start to soar.

The reason the female eagle ensures that the male eagle has mastered the art of catching the twig before mating with him is because she needs to know that he is able to catch the eaglets when they are thrown off the cliff and thought how to fly. Amazing isn't it?

God is like the Eagle. He puts us through life's situations and sometimes, its seems as if we are on our own...falling. But I know that at the nick of time, God will always be there. There's a reason why my email is soar eaglet and my blog add too. cause time after time, i'm thrown of a cliff. and when it seems i'm about to hit the bottom, God is there to pick me up. I yearn for the day when I finally learn to soar.

Ryan Wells Foundation

While having supper at Bedok 85 one night, my youngest bro told me about his Nepal trip and how his teacher told him a story about a boy named Ryan, who at the age of 6 had a vision of providing clean water to the poorer nations like Uganda, where ppl died from drinking muddy water. I thought it was interesting and decided to check it out...well, I was really put to shame after that. Here's how the story goes:

Ryan's Well Foundation

In 1998, when Ryan Hreljac was in grade one he learned from his teacher, Mrs Prest that people were dying because they didn't have clean water to drink. He also learned that children in a Ugandan village had to walk many kilometers every day just for fresh drinking water. Dismayed, he set out to do enough household chores over a period of 4 months to raise the $70 he figured it would take to drill a well for the village. It turned out the well would cost more like $2,000 to drill – but Ryan was undaunted, and he raised close to $3,000 that year as his story made headlines.

Ryan’s first well was built in 1999 when Ryan was seven years-old at a school in a Ugandan village. The well continues to serve thousands of people. Ryan’s determination grew from the $70 collected by doing simple household chores to a Foundation that today has contributed a total of 484 wells in 16 countries bringing clean water and sanitation services to over 611,512 people. The Foundation has raised millions of dollars.

Actor Matt Damon and his nonprofit organization Africa H2O recently committed $200,000 to The Ryan's Well Foundation through a matching funds initiative. "It will help bring clean water to thousands more people and help us achieve what many thought was impossible," says Ryan of Damon's support.

Any kid can follow his lead, says Ryan. “Kids can begin with anything from helping out around the house to starting their own project,” he adds. They’re real words of wisdom, coming from this boy who considered himself, at age 6, just as responsible as anyone else for solving a problem affecting people a world away.

I hope this will impact your life. If you want more details, google Ryan Wells Foundation or go to http://www.ryanswell.ca/story/index.html. God bless.
