faith

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.....
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 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?
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 did make everything. Correct?
Student: 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?
Student: 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?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: 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?
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 science has.
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 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 is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
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, 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?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Prof: 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?
Prof: 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 in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
(The class breaks 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 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.

my new digi number

" I will follow youuuu.. I will follow wherever you goooo".. sounds familiar? Ive just changed my hp number last month, ivent inform all people in my contact list yet im alredi receiving unknown calls and smses. I thought thsi would be my permanent number huahhhhhhh.. i hate changing my number. I receive a few calls looking for a guy named "Mie".. At first I thought it was just a wrong number but ive been receiving a few other missed calls and even receive smses asking for my name n where im staying.. what da heck. not even a hundred ppl knew my new number and i dont simply give out my number to people. I must hve bought a recycle number at a higher price, it was packed in a nice package at the digi centre. there was one time i receive a few smss frm this maxis number "berkenalan" kunun. i told him that ive 3 sons, all around 20's muahaha then he stop smsing me kahkahkah, he told me he got my number from his friend. I dont think my frens would pass around my nmber. ive received a few other missed calls but i ignored them coz i didnt recognize the numbers. tis morning anther missed call again frm another new number... im very very annoyed now. i returned the call and heard a male voice on the other line. he was a bit menggelabah, and i asked him who he was and instead of answering my question he told me that he got my new number and then startled ohhh errrr salah number then he hung up.. im gonna have to call digi to find out who was the previous owner of this number.. there was no indication and i was not informed that it's a recycled number considering i bought it at a higher price. huhhh ive never imagine they would recycle hp numbers.. mahal lg sia beli tu.. kin panasss.

live with consequences

have u ever look back and learn anything frm any bad or good decisions u have made in the past?

I know things cant be changed but at least we could learn something from them.

lately ive been thinking a lot about my decisions in life and my future. not that ive never seriously thinking about it but sometimes i wish i have made a better, different decisions. time is something you cant turn back and it is something that you have to treasure. it's just like your breath. every second counts.

Part of our growing up process is to make a decision and live with the consequences.

making decision is just like finding a way out in a maze. It could lead you to a more complicated road or it could lead you to a dead end. though sometimes we are going to the same destination but certain people taking more time to reach there because they took longer and complicated routes.

so How do u know if you are making the right decisions?

Honestly, I cant answer that.. sometimes u need to make a decision first and u only realised it
when it was too late to go back. from choosing what kind of food to eat and making bigger important decisions, it would shape what kind of person you are today. so are you a person what you have expected u were in the past? or are you totally someone whom you've never expected you are today? ive once heard this " We dont live long enough to experience all kind of troubles and learn from them but you can look around and learn it from someone else". so if you have made wrong decisions in the past, dont just stand there and waiting for miracles to happen to change you, learn from it or share it with others.Im not sure if i always make the right decisions but knowing God is always leading me to the right path and trusting God's wisdom to lead me to a better life is a great comfort.

so are you too afraid to make wrong decisions in life? yes, it's scary isnt? but I believe that's how life is, if you fall, stand up again, look back and learn from it. If you do that, it would make you stronger and a better person. so do not afraid if you make a wrong decision in life, it may hurt you sometime, but it keeps you human.

If you are having a difficult time to make decisions in life now or if you have struggles at this moment, take time to pray and surrender everything to God and Trust that He will show you the right path. Remember, ur problem maybe BIG, but God is BIGGER than your problem ;)

I have attached here a lyric of a beautiful and meaningful song entitled "Tis so sweet to trust In Jesus"

(you can find the midi file at [copy & paste] http://library.timelesstruths.org/music/Tis_So_Sweet_to_Trust_in_Jesus)

’Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His Word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
And to know, “Thus saith the Lord!”

Refrain:

Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
Oh, for grace to trust Him more!

Oh, how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
And in simple faith to plunge me
’Neath the healing, cleansing flood!

Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.

I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
