God created evil

[sinnersavedbygrace]

A 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 was quite pleased with himself, and boasted to the

students that he had proven once more that the faith in God is 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. Everybody or object is susceptible to study when it has or

transmits energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees 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. We can

study light, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton's prism to

break white light into many colors and study the various wave lengths 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 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 not like faith, or

love, that exist just as does light and heat. 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 student's name -- Albert Einstein

Received this very same message within my e-mail the day before yesterday. Really is something is it not?

This is a great story about Einstein...hope I've spelt his name correctly.

[Ovedya]

It's a great story. And the content is absolutely true. But I don't think that there is any evidence that the student was Albert Einstien. That might just be another urban legend.

However, it is a well-known fact that Albert Einstien believed in God. And that his view of science was not to disprove God, but to delve into the mysteries of science in order to discover God's creation.

I hadn't heard that before, thought it was really good.

Well, does that 'speach' means that every atheist and non-christian are evil???
