Do you Beieve in God or Not (A perfect Argument)

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problemscience 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 terriblethings 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 theworld around you.Tell me, son...Have you everseen 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 youever 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 saysyour 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, megaheat, white heat, a little heat or no heat.But we don't have anything called cold. We can hit 458 degrees belowzero 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 todescribe 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 canhave low light, normal light, brightlight, flashing light....But ifyou have no light constantly, you have nothing and it's calleddarkness, isn't it? Inreality, darkness isn't. If it were you would be able to makedarkness 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 islife and then there is death, a good God and a bad God. You areviewing the concept of God as something finite, something we canmeasure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought. It useselectricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fullyunderstood either one.To view death as the opposite of life is to beignorant 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 evolvedfrom 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 realizewhere the argument is going.)Student:Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work andcannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are younot teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but apreacher? (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, feltit, touched or smelt it? No one appears to have done so. So, accordingto 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 faceunfathomable. )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 allthat keeps things moving & alive.
NB: I believe you have enjoyed the conversation. ..and if so...you'llprobably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy the same...won'tyou?....this is a true story, and the
student was none other than........ ..............APJ Abdul Kalam , the former president of India .

Kasab confesses to being a Pakistani

The man accused of being the lone surviving gunman in last year's Mumbai attacks told an a sessions court on Monday that he was from Pakistan and wanted legal assistance, a senior police officer said.
In February, police formally charged Mohammed Ajmal Kasab with "waging war" against India, and his trial began on Monday via video link in Mumbai, where terrorists killed 166 people in a three-day rampage last November.

"He has confessed that he is from Pakistan and has also asked the court for legal assistance," Rakesh Maria, the chief investigator in the case, said.

"The hearing has concluded and the next date of the trial will be known shortly," Maria said.

India has charged 38 people, including Kasab, in connection with the case.

The charge sheet, which runs to some 11,000 pages, contains accounts of more than 2,200 witnesses as well as other evidence provided by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), which helped Indian police with the probe.

Those charged as key planners of the attacks included Hafiz Mohammad Saeed, founder of the militant Islamist Lashkar-e-Taiba group India says was behind the attacks, and other senior Lashkar members Zaki-ur-Rehman Lakhvi and Zarar Shah.
