One student boldly replied, "Yes, God created everything that exists!"
"God created everything?" the professor asked once more.
"Yes, Professor," replied the student.
The professor will then say, "If God created everything, then he also created evil. Since evil exists and taking into account the principle that what we do determines us, then God is evil too!"
The student remained silent, and the professor full of himself stated that he had once again proved that what Christians believe is in fact a myth.
Another student raised his hand and asked the professor if he could ask him something.
"Of course," replied the professor.
The student stood up and said, "Professor, is there a cold?"
"What's that question? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"
The students giggled at a colleague's question.
The young man replied, "Actually professor, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality a lack of heat. Every body or object according to study has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body have or transmit energy .
Absolute zero means the complete absence of heat, all things become inert and incapable of reacting at that temperature. There is no cold. We created that word to describe how we feel if we don't have warmth. "
The student continued with the question, "Professor, is there darkness?"
The professor replied, "Of course there is."
The student will say, "You're wrong again, Professor, there is no darkness either. Darkness is really just a lack of light. We can study light, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton's prism to turn white light into many colors and study different wavelengths of light for each color.We cannot measure darkness.The most ordinary ray of light can penetrate the world of darkness and illuminate it.
How can you know how dark a particular space is? Measure the amount of light present. Isn't this true? Darkness is a term that people use to describe what happens when there is no light. "
Finally, the young man asked, "Professor, is there evil?"
Now a little insecure, the professor replied, "Of course, as I said. We see evil every day. Most often in everyday examples of human inhumanity to other people ... in crimes and violence around the world. These manifestations are nothing but evil."
To this the student will say, "Professor, evil does not exist, or at least does not exist in itself.
Just like darkness and cold, it is a concept created by humans to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith and love that exist just as there is light and warmth. Evil is a consequence of what happens when God's love is not present in a person's heart. Just like the cold we experience in the absence of heat, or like the darkness that happens when there is no light. "
The professor sat down.
