Science vs God(here's a interesting article)

'Let me explain the problem science has with Jesus Christ.' The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.

'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,' the student says.

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely.'

'Is God good?'

'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes.'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment.

'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him. Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good...!'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn’t, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?'

The student remains silent.

'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?'

'Er...yes,' the student says.

'Is Satan good?'

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'

'Then where does Satan come from?'

The student : 'From...God...'

'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'

'Yes, sir.'

'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'

'Yes.'

'So who created evil?' The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'

Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues: 'Is there sickness, Immorality, Hatred, Ugliness, All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'

The student: 'Yes.'

'So who created them?'

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. 'Who created them? There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized.

'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?'

The student's voice is confident: 'Yes, professor, I do.'

The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you.

Have you ever seen Jesus?'

'No sir. I've never seen Him'

'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?'

'No, sir, I have not.'

'Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?'

'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.'

'Yet you still believe in him?'

'Yes.'

'According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist.

What do you say to that, son?'

'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.'

'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science haswith God. There is no evidence, only faith.'

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of his own.

'Professor, is there such thing as heat?'

'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.'

'And is there such a thing as cold?'

'Yes, son, there's cold too.'

'No sir, there isn't.'

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The roomsuddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain.

'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'

Silence occurs across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?'

'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn'tdarkness?'

'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence ofsomething. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashinglight, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's calleddarkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?'

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. 'So what point are you making, young man?'

'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.' The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. 'Flawed? Can you explain how?'

'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains. 'Youargue that there is life and then there's 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?''If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do''Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed.

'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 now not a scientist, but a preacher?'

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided.'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.'

The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into laughter.'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, feltthe professor's brain, touched or smelled the professor's brain? No oneappears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'

Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his faceunreadable. Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I guess you'll have to take them on faith.'

'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,'the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?'

Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see iteveryday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.'

To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it doesnot exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just likedarkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God.

God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.'

The professor sat down.

Shinichilee(a shinichilee original)

He is the one who studies all day,

He has a mind that no one can possibly compare.

He always has a book in front of him,

He is, an intellectual person.

He is our knight in shining armor,

A gallant lord who commands armies.

The defender of all countries,

The enemy of all villains.

Peace he loves, disturbance he hates,

He has a short temper but a strong mind,

Long winded but intellectual,

Has bad habits, but good-willed.

He is the person that everyone loves

He is the person that antagonists hates

He is the person that makes evildoers cower

He is the defender, and indeed the protagonist of all stories.

---(a shinichilee original)

The lifeless body,

The body without a soul,

Drifting along the street,

No one cares about him,

Only this one person,

Who created him...

Trying to make people believe him,

Trying to make life worth living,

Though his efforts were in vain,

He didn't stop trying....

Breaking through all the obstacles,

With no one to assist him...

Ignoring the warnings of people

Who pretends to care about him...

There's only this one person he trusts...

No one but this person...

And this person is....

HIMSELF.

The Forgotten Dead(a shinichilee original)

The only difference between the living and the dead is,

One has emotions and another doesn't have one

And the ones who has no emotions

Watch out, for you're the one

Who's going to be next

Nobody cares much about you,

being dead or alive

Nobody really cares about you

you're just a part of their memory.

Is this all an illusion?

Who knows, all this maybe a sensation,

Created by God who wants us all to feel,

The way how living things feel.

Keel over, and stop daydreaming

Pay attention to life before you die,

Because time flies like an arrow,

And before you know it, everyone loses their sorrow

For when you die,

You're just a fragment of their memories

Think about it

And tell me about it

There's no way

To avoid death

There's no way

To make people remember you

In a matter of time,

You die,

You disintegrate,

You become a memory

AND YOU'RE FORGOTTEN

The blind fisherman

Down by the river I cast out my line,
unable to see because I am blind.
My hearing is sharp, and so is my hook.
Watch out young fish, I'm nimble and quick,
just because I have no eyes, does not mean I'll catch walleye.

endless

floating through endless time
direction is meaningless
speed is null and void

the endless black
that emcompasses me
filling every look

the endless universe
with over 6 billion lives
that are known

what secrets does it hold
the black timeless universe
with which no one can see all

About a Dog

I have a dog that is so cute and cuddly

So loyal and full of sense

If he goes away so far

I will not be happy is all i said

He can run so fast

but slow enough to walk beside me

He has this appetite that no one could compare

So he can eat all the leftovers that he is aware

I wish he could live much longer

So I can play with him forever

Too bad he is just a dog

A dog to be cared and taken care of

The tale of the jackal, dog and rabbit.

Once upon a time, there lived a jackal, dog and rabbit. They were kind hearted and liked to help other animals except for the jackal, who was very cunning.
One fine day, they saw an old man nearly dieing of hunger. Moreover, on that special day, people must find some food and give them to the poor. So, the jackal suggested that they, too, should participate in this event.
And so the jackal, dog and rabbit started looking for food. The jackal found a chicken and managed to kill it. Then the dog saw another chicken, and killed it too. Then, with the help of the rabbit, they cooked the chickens that they caught. Then they looked for a person to give the meat to. After a day of finding, they saw the old man that they saw earlier.
Just as they were about to give the meat, the rabbit realized that he did not have anything to contribute to the man. He then thought to give some water instead. After desperately looking everywhere for water, the rabbit finally found a stream. Then he realized that he did not have anything to put the water into, or anything to scoop the water with!
Then the jackal said to him, “Why don’t you kill yourself and give yourself to the old man? He would then be very happy.” Unknown to the rabbit, the jackal wanted to eat the rabbit but they were good friends, almost since birth, and it would not seem right to the dog if he killed the rabbit. But now he had the perfect excuse to kill the rabbit.
“Okay, I’ll go and ask the old man to kill me,” was the rabbit’s reply. The jackal felt bewildered. If the old man killed him, he would not have the chance of eating the rabbit! He quickly added, “Use your brains, rabbit. The old man would not have enough strength to kill you. I will kill you in his place.” But luckily for the rabbit, the dog arrived and said, “Wouldn’t you feel bad if you killed him? Let the old man decide who kills who.”
So it was decided. They walked to the old man and told them about the idea. The old man said, “We humans are not allowed to kill animals on this day. So, you do not need to die. The two chickens were enough to fill my poor old stomach.” “But… We have sworn to help somebody on this day! I’ve got an idea. Make a fire please,” said the rabbit. So the dog and the jackal, with the help of the old man, made a fiery hot fire.
“Three… Two…. One!” The rabbit jumped into the fire. The jackal was thinking, “How was he going to get the rabbit’s meat if the old man takes it?” But unfortunately for the jackal, the rabbit doesn’t burn. Miraculously, the rabbit just sat in there, looking very surprised. The old man said, “Aah, you have been blessed by the blessings of god. They have forsaken you for not helping anyone today. For your bravery, you are granted to be a star!”
And since that day, on that very special day, there will be a star shaped like a rabbit in the sky. The jackal’s plan was discovered later on, and he was killed by a butcher when he stole a piece of meat. The dog and rabbit lived happily ever.
