EVIL is............
Think on These Thoughts
A University professor at a well known institution of higher
learning 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, he
certainly did," the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything; then God
created evil.
And, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our
works define who we are, then we can assume God is evil."
The student became quiet and did not answer the professor's
hypothetical definition. 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, "May 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 other 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; and 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 examples 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 does not exist, sir, or at
least it 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.
The young man's name -- Albert Einstein
