At a certain college, there was a professor with a reputation for being.
At the first class every semester, he asked if.
anyone was a Christian and proceeded to degrade them and to mock their.
statement of faith.
One semester, he asked the question and a young man raised his hand. The.
professor asked, "Did God make everything, young man?".
He replied, "Yes sir He did!".
The professor responded, "If God made everything, then He made evil.".
The student didn't have a response and the professor was happy to have.
once again proved the Christian faith to be a myth.
Then another man raised his hand and asked, "May I ask you something,.
sir?".
"Yes you may," responded the professor.
The young man stood up and said, "Sir, is there such thing as cold?".
"Of course there is, what kind of question is that? Haven't you ever.
been cold?".
The young man replied, "Actually, sir, cold doesn't exist. What we.
consider to be cold, is really an absence of heat. Absolute zero is when.
there is absolutely no heat, but cold does not really exist. We have.
only created that term to describe how we feel when heat is not there.".
The young man continued, "Sir, is there such thing as dark?".
Once again, the professor responded, "Of course there is.".
And once again, the student replied, "Actually, sir, darkness does not.
exist. Darkness is really only the absence of light. Darkness is only a.
term man developed to describe what happens when there is no light.
present.".
Finally, the young man asked, "Sir, is there such thing as evil?".
The professor responded, "Of course. We have rapes, and murders,.
violence everywhere in the world, those things are evil." The student.
replied, "Actually, sir, evil does not exist. Evil is simply the absence.
of God. Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of God. God.
does no create evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as.
virtues like heat or light. Evil is simply the state where God is not.
present, like the cold without heat or darkness without light.
