If there's no heaven, you think the world will annihilate itself?

Question

if there's no heaven, no second coming, no end of days, will the world and the people in it will destroy each other out?

Answer 1

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

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.

Answer 2

If there WAS no heaven (if that's your question, Which by the way is impossible for us to figure out), the world would obviously be ALOT different, if there was no religion, Wars might not have started.
We already are destroying eachother, Hitler (hated jews), The current War in Iraq.
It's happening NOW.

Answer 3

Yes, it would have already happened so you wouldn't have had the chance to ask this question. Thank God for giving us enough evidence so most of us know about the after life and are trying to live by His ways so we may see heaven. Without that motivation we would not have the most powerful reason of all to do unto others that which we would have others do unto us, and the whole world benefits.

Answer 4

If there is no heaven, then mankind is top-dog in the universe.
We may try our best to NOT annihilate ourselves, but our track record is not good.

Fortunately, I believe there is a heaven, and therefore God has offered mankind an escape from total self-destruction through His Son, Jesus Christ.

Answer 5

Well, first of all there is a heaven and the second coming is going to be sometime in the future so don't worry about that kind of stuff.

Answer 6

Since there are people that think there is a heaven, we are doomed to the violence, hatred and suffering that religion will bring us in the future. Because history repeats itself.

Answer 7

Sweetheart, everything you have learned about being alive is a lie and everything you need to know is unknown. If you listen to people who claim to have an answer to your question it is because they want to have more power than you. Why would a god empower others to tell of him and not empower you. It would make no sense. Basically you have to overcome your fear of hell and try to make the best sense of things, of life, as you can.

Answer 8

might kill a lot of us-but man is a stubborn creature-do have to believe some of us will survive if not on earth than somewhere out there as this planet will end sometime-but hey that is probably just my ego talking-----enjoy the night

Answer 9

If there were no GOD, there wouldn't be a World.

If GOD didn't help us Already, we woulda' destroyed ourselves Already.

If GOD wasn't Helping us, there would still be Devils.
That's whats behind all of the Killing, Stealing and Destroying.

Answer 10

Honestly- i truley beleive that there is something after life. I dont doubt that the world will be destroyed sometime- but i think that there is something else after it all.

Thats just my opinion.

Answer 11

i dont believe this question has anything to do with heaven. people will detroy their own being, clearly, some day.
