What is God...? An Interesting Conversation

An atheist Professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new Students to stand and.....

Professor: So you believe in God?
Student : Absolutely, sir.

Prof : Is God good?
Stud: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: 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 is silent.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?
Stud: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Stud: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Stud: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them? (Student has no answer.)
Prof: Science says you have 5 senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son...Have you ever seen God?
Stud: No, sir.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Stud: No, sir.

Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God?Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?
Stud: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Stud: Yes.

Prof: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Stud: Nothing. I only have my faith.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Stud: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.
Stud: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: Yes.
Stud: No sir. There isn't.(The lecture theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events.)
Stud : 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 is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)

Stud: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?

Stud : 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 it's called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Stud: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Stud: 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?

Prof: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Stud: 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.)

Stud: 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.)

Stud: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks out into laughter.)
Stud : 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 is silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Stud: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving & alive.

I believe you have enjoyed the conversation...and if so...you'll probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same...won't you?....

This is a true story, and the Student was none other than.........
APJ Abdul Kalam , the former President of India

Be careful before buying your food at Wal-Mart..!!

Well, are you enjoying seeing Chinese food popping up in your supermarket left and right..? Have you noticed you can't buy a single package of fish that isn't made in China (or Vietnam)..? Do you think your food from China is processed in a sanitary manner, and thus safe to eat? Take a look at this...!!!

REMEMBER WAL-MART is one of the LARGEST BUYERS OF CHINESE PRODUCTS..

THINK ABOUT IT.

These undercover enclosed pictures speak a thousand words. Avoid buying all processed food packaged in China. Anything goes! We just don't know what else is in those packages. Unlike in the U.S. and Canada, China does not have laws regulating food processing.

On that note: also avoid using disposable chopsticks in the restaurant. Apparently, they have been bleached to look white! We certainly don't need bleach in our body and if left behind by customers they are just re-used.

Basically, do not buy any processed food from China, also Hong Kong, too. MANY companies are using a Hong Kong address to avoid this type of image reputation.

Early dawn, starts the day by riding around to collect dead chickens














Asking around for dead chickens














Total of 5 riders are hired by the boss to ride to farms to buy dead chickens














A dead chicken cost 1 RMB and would be sold at 9 RMB after processing














Storage for the dead chickens in the court yard














Carcasses are thrown everywhere















On
t
h
e
floor
















Four employees start de-feathering the dead fowl after soaking in boiling water from a rusty wok
















Enduring the pungent odour, but sometimes, it gets so terrible that even the most experienced of the workers would puke
















Workers rushing to get the chickens de-feathered
















A discarded bath tub being used to soak the bare skin dead chicken. The contaminated water would have accelerated the decomposition process














Wearing slippers walking among the chickens before the coloring processing














After the colour y, its creepy to find that they are quite tenderising
















And now presenting the mouth watering Charcoal Roasted Chicken!





















Do NOT buy food originating in China (or Vietnam or Thailand)! Take the time to read the labels and look for country of origin! STOP BUYING ANYTHING FROM CHINA.

( Hey... I found this information over the internet. I was shocked after reading this. So i am putting it here just to make an awareness. I don't want to hurt anyone's sentiments.)
