An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to hisclass on the problemscience has with God. He asks one of his newstudents to standand.....
Professor : You are a Muslim, aren't you, son?
Student : Yes, sir.
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 heprayed to God to healhim. Most of us would attempt to help others whoare ill. But Goddidn't.How is this God good then? Hmm?
(Student is silent.)
Prof. : You can't answer, can you? Let's startagain, young fella. IsGod 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 didmake everything.Correct?
Student : Yes.
Prof. : So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof. : Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred?Ugliness? All theseterrible 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 toidentify andobserve 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 yourGod, smelt your God?Have you ever had any sensory perception of Godfor 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 sciencehas.
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 thisturn of events.)
Student : Sir, you can have lots of heat, even moreheat, superheat,megaheat, white heat, a little heat or no heat. But wedon'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 suchthing as cold. Coldisonly 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? Isthere such a thing asdarkness?
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,flashinglight.... But if you have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If itwere you would be able to make darkness, darker, wouldn't you?
Prof. : So what is the point you are making, youngman?
Student : Sir, my point is your philosophicalpremise is flawed.
Prof. : Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student : Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You arguethere is life and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite,somethingwe 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 youteach your students that they evolved (Student is from a monkey)?
Prof. : If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process,yes, of course, I do.
Student : Have you ever observed evolution withyour own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shakes his head with a smile,beginning to realisewhere the argument is going.)
Student : Since no one has ever observed theprocess of evolution atworkand cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but apreacher?(The class is in uproar.)
Student : Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen theProfessor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student : Is there anyone here, who has ever heard the Professor'sbrain, felt it, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So,according to the established rules of empirical,stable, demonstrableprotocol, 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.

en bukan berarti gue bukan orang yang gak punya perasaan yeee... tapi lebih baik perasaan tuh gak usah ditulis, karena mungkin bisa menimbulkan fitnah ..*saaahh =P
