A professor of a university challenged his students with this
question.
"Did God create everything that exists?" A student answered
bravely, "Yes,
he did".
The professor then asked, "If God created everything, then he
created evil.
Since evil exists (as noticed by our own actions), so God is evil.
The student couldn't respond to that statement causing the professor
to
conclude that he had "proved" that "belief in
God" was a fairy tale, and
therefore worthless.
Another student raised his hand and asked the professor, "May I
pose a
question? ", "Of course" answered the professor.
The young student stood up and asked : "Professor does Cold
exists?".
The professor answered, "What kind of question is that? Of
course the cold
exists... haven't you ever been cold?"
The young student answered, "In fact sir, Cold does not exist.
According to
the laws of Physics, what we consider cold , in fact is the absence of
heat.
Anything is able to be studied as long as it transmits energy (heat).
Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat, but cold does not exist.
What
we have done is create a term to describe how we feel if
we don't have body heat or we are not hot."
"And, does Dark exist?", he continued.
The professor answered "Of course". This time the student
responded,
"Again you're wrong, Sir. Darkness does not exist either.
Darkness is in
fact simply the absence of light. Light can be studied, darkness
cannot.
Darkness cannot be broken down. A simple ray of light tears the
darkness
and illuminates the surface where the light beam finishes. Dark is a
term
that we humans have created to describe what happens when there's
lack of
light."
Finally, the student asked the professor, "Sir, does evil
exist?" The
professor replied, "Of course it exists, as I mentioned at the
beginning,
we see violations, crimes and violence anywhere in the world, and
those
things are evil."
The student responded, "Sir, Evil does not exist. Just as in
the previous
cases, Evil is a term which man has created to describe the result
of the
absence of God's presence in the hearts of man. After this, the
professor
bowed down his head, and didn't answer back.
The young man's name was ALBERT EINSTEIN.
