Does evil exist? Did God create evil?
 

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"][SIZE="4"][COLOR="DarkRed"]Does evil exist? Did God create evil?
The University professor challenged his students with this question.

"Did God create everything that exists?"

A student bravely replied, "Yes he did!"

"God created everything?" The professor asked.

"Yes sir", the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil."

The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"

"Of course", replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, "Professor does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460? F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."

The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton 's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.

To this the student replied, "Evil dies not exist sir, or at least is does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

Marvallous!
keep sharing.

great!
kya baat hai!

nice one fatima ....

simply .....wow.

hmmm [B]Superb[/B] piece of writing..Thanx for sharing honorable forum fellow!
I would also like to share here anotehr incident of Einstein life!
Well When Einstein comes up with theory of relativity, a hot discussion starts in the world of Modern Science.Many universities of that time offered him to deleiver lectures on "Theory of Relativity".Einstein's Driver was quite similar in prototype of body structure and usually remain with Einstein during lectures.Once during his visit to sweedish university,students invited him to deliever a lecture on Theory of Relativity.Einstein was not comfortable with his headache.So he decided to send his Driver for lecture and took some rest in Car.The driver expectedly give a superb crammed lecture.But there come an interesting situation when some of the audience student asked Einstein's Driver about some insight queries of Theory of relativity.The driver tried his best to ignore the queries by saying its jsut what i deleiver in my lecture.But when audience insisted too much for their queries.Einstein's driver make a clever decision.He said to students "[B]Dear students you are asking such ridiculous and simple questions that even my Driver can answer you these stuff;-)[/B]Driver went away and called Mr.Einstein, almost complete his rest in car, to answer the students queries.
Its true Situation management is a big task.And its specially helpful for CSPs.Many of us know just Einsteins wisdom but i quote it here his driver's wisdom offcourse not an ordinary driver.

Gr8 job Jinab

This dialogue gives good insight... but the student could not be Einstien. These are actually the views of Medieval Christian Theologian and Scholar St. Augustine. Consider following copy paste:

"Augustine now argued that evil is not anything real, but rather is merely the absence of good."
