something interesting

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to this class on the problem science has with God, the Almighty.
He asks one of new students to stand and......
Professor: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Professor: 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: (Student is silent).
Professor: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...... God.....
Professor: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil is everwhere, isn't it? And God did make everything correct?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil?
Student: (Student does not answer).
Professor: Is there sickness? Immortality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them?
Student: (Student has no answer.)
Professor: 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.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard God?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God, smelt your God? Have you ever had any scensory perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I am afraid I haven't.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your GOD does't exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: 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 heats, 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 futher 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?
Professor: 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?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: 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 has 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?
Professor: If you are returning to the natural evolutionary process, yes. Of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
Professor: (The professor shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realise 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 ongoing endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?
Professor: (The class is in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?
Professor: (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?
Professor: (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it, sir. The link between man and God is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving and alive.

ME: i dun believe in god neither do i believe tt there isn't god...
i guess something not seen not heard not felt doesn't mean it isn't present..so i guess yup..HAVE FAITH~!

spent time wif ur love ones now~!

A man came home from work late, tired and irritated, to find his 5-year old son waiting for him at he door.
"Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
"Yeah sure, what is it?" replied the man.
"Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
"That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?" the man said angrily.
"I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?" pleaded the little boy.
"If you must know, I make $20 an hour."
"Oh," the little boy replied, with his head down. Looking up, he said, "Daddy, may I please borrow $10?"

The father was furious, "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.

The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions.

How dare he ask such questions only to get some money? After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:

Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $10 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

"Are you asleep, son?" He asked.
"No daddy, I'm awake," replied the boy.
"I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier," said the man, "It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $10 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling. "Oh, thank you daddy!" He yelled. Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man, seeing that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, then looked up at his father.

"Why do you want more money if you already have some?" the father grumbled.
"Because I didn't have enough, but now I do," the little boy replied.
"Daddy, I have $20 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."


It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our
fingers without having spent sometime with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts.
If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family & friends we left behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family an unwise investment indeed.


Me says: sometimes when we are too engrossed in certain stuff we neglect mani things around us.. sometimes we may have over-react for certain things but mani times ppl talk without first thinking (we can't blame anibody,can we?)..
So start looking at things n the ppl around you..try to look at what he/she/they are feeling n what realli matters in their heart..u will be surprised..!

$20 note

A well known speaker started his seminar with a $20 note in his hand.l
In the room of 200 he asked: WHO WOULD LIKE THIS $20 NOTE?
Hands started going up.
He said: I AM GOING TO GIVE THIS TO ONE OF YOU, BUT FIRST, LET ME DO THIS.
He proceeded to crumple the note.
He then asked: WHO STILL WANTS IT?
Still the hands were up in the air.
He then replied: WELL, WHAT IF I DO THIS?
He dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe.
He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty.
he asked again: WHO STILL WANTS IT?
STILL HANDS WENT INTO THE AIR.
MY FRIENDS, YOU ALL HAVE LEARNED A
VERY VALUABLE LESSON. NO MATTER
WHAT I DID TO THE MONEY, YOU STILL WANTED IT, BECAUSE,

IT DID NOT DECREASE IN VALUE. IT WAS STILL WORTH 20 DOLLARS.

MANY TIMES IN OUR LIVES, WE ARE DROPPED, CRUMPLED AND GROUND INTO THE DIRT BY THE DECISIONS WE MAKE AND THE CIRCUMSTANCES THAT COME OUR WAY. WE FEEL THAT WE ARE WORTHLESS, BUT, NO MATTER WHAT HAS HAPPENED OR WHAT WILL HAPPEN, YOU WILL NEVER LOSE YOUR VALUE, DIRTY OR CLEAN, CRUMPLED OR FINELY CREASED, YOU ARE STILL PRICELESS TO THOSE WHO LOVE YOU. THE WORTH OF OUR LIVES COME NOT IN WHAT WE DO, OR WHO WE KNOW, BUT, BY WHO
WE ARE. YOU ARE SPECIAL, DON'T EVER FORGET IT!!
ALWAYS COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS, NOT YOUR PROBLEMS.

Me says:
HOW worthwhile is ur life is how u look upon it..there are mani ups n downs in life..
instead of condemning ourselves..we should try to improve our personality/character/attitude..wateva..to become a better person...no matter what happen in the future..you are what you are..do wat u tink n BELIEVE in what you do and wat u tink..you hold your future..and not anibody else..!
