Professor: "You are a Christian aren't you son?" Einstein: (as a student) "Yes sir." "So you believe in God?" "Absolutely sir." "Is God good"? "Sure." "Is God all powerful?" "Yes." "My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to God to heal him. Most of us would attempt to heal others who are ill. But God didn't. How is this God good then?... You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?" "Yes." "Is satan good?" "No." "Where does satan come from?" "From God." "Yes." "Evil is everywhere isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?" "Yes." "So who created evil? ... Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All those terrible things exist in the world, don't they" "Yes sir." "So who created them?... Science says you have five senses. Senses you have to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me son, have you ever seen God?" "No sir." "Have you ever felt you God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any sensory perception of God for that matter?" "No sir, I'm afraid I haven't." "Yet you still believe in Him?" "Yes." "According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol,Science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that son?" "Nothing. I only have my faith." "Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has." Professor, is there such a thing as heat? "Yes." And is there such a thing as cold? "Yes." "No, sir. There isn't.... 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 than 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. ... What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?" "What is night if there isn't darkness?" "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 is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you? So what is the point you are making, young man? Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed. Flawed? Can you explain how? Sir you are working on the premise on duality. You argue there is life and 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? If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes of course I do. Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir? ... Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavour. Are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher? Is there anyone in this class who has ever seen the Professor's brain? Is there anyone 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?" "I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son." "That is it sir...Exactly! The link between man and God is faith. This is all that keeps things alive and moving. ↗
