A story.

I found a nice story on Christianity at ric's blog, so I'll be posting it since I find it rather interesting, though I can't copy & paste zzz.

A science professor begins his school year with a lecture to his students,"Let me explain the problem science has with religion."

The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and asks one of his new students to stand.

'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?'

'Yes sir,'the student says

'So you believe in God?'

'Absolutely.'

'Is God good?'

'Sure! God's good.'

'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?'

'Yes.'

'Are you good or evil?'

'The Bible says I'm evil.'

The professor grins knowingly.'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment. 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you do it? Would you try?'

'Yes sir, I would.'

'So you're good...!'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.'

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?'

The student remains silent.

'No, you can't, can you?' The professor says. He takes a sip of water fronm a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?'

'Er...yes,' the student says.

'Is Satan good?'

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.'

'Then where does Satan come from?'

The student falters. 'From God'

'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?'

'Yes, sir.'

'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?'

'Yes.'

'So who created evil?' the professor continued,'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.'

Again, the student has no answer.'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, all these terrible things, do they exist in this world?'

The student squirms on his feet. 'Yes.'

'So who created them?'

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question.
'Who created them?'
There is still no answer.
Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom.
The class is mesmerized.
'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ,son?'

The student's voice betrays him and cracks. 'Yes, professor, I do.'

The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?'

It's getting late so I'll finish up in the next post. or maybe just edit.

Anyway getting headaches and sore throat and coughs and slight flu recently zzz one coming another. Luckily it's still not so bad.

And recently it feels so cold, often raining. Becoming more and more like 'winter' in Singapore. And Prelims start in 7 days. 27/8/08.

But my engine still hasn't started ._.

Dreamt of some scary real life happenings yesterday night, which I vividly remembered when I woke up. Definitely not interested in experiencing that nightmare again.

And time to sleep =)
