INTERESTING CONVERSATION

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy speaks to his Class on the ProblemScience has with GOD, The ALMIGHTY.He asks one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .Professor : You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?Student : Yes, sir.Professor : So you Believe in GOD ?Student : Absolutely, sir.Professor : Is GOD Good ?Student : Sure.Professor : Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?Student : Yes.Professor : My Brother died of Cancer even though he prayed to GOD to Heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn't.How is this GOD Good then ? Hmm ?( Student is silent )Professor : You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is GOD Good ?Student : Yes.Professor : Is Satan good ?Student : No..Professor : Where does Satan come from ?Student : From . . . GOD . . .Professor : That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World ?Student : Yes.Professor : Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And GOD did make Everything. Correct ?Student : Yes.Professor : So who created evil ?( Student does not answer )Professor : Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?Student : Yes, sir.Professor : So, who Created them ?( Student has no answer )Professor : Science says you have 5 Senses you use to Identify and Observe the World around you.Tell me, son . . . Have you ever Seen GOD ?Student : No, sir.Professor : Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD ?Student : No , sir.Professor : Have you ever Felt your GOD, Tasted your GOD, Smelled your GOD? Have you ever had any Sensory Perception of GOD for that matter?Student : No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.Professor : Yet you still Believe in HIM ?Student : Yes.Professor : According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?Student : Nothing. I only have my Faith.Professor : Yes. Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.Student : Professor, is there such a thing as Heat ?Professor : Yes.Student : And is there such a thing as Cold ?Professor : Yes.Student : No sir. There isn't.( The Lecture Theatre becomes very quiet with this turn of events )Student : Sir, you can have Lots of Heat, even More Heat, Superheat, Mega Heat, White Heat, a Little Heat or No Heat. But we don't have anything called Cold..We can hit 458 Degrees below Zero which is No Heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as Cold. Cold is only a Word we use to describe the Absence of Heat. We cannot Measure Cold. Heat is Energy. Cold is Not the Opposite of Heat, sir, just the Absence of it.( There is Pin - Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )Student : What about Darkness, Professor ? Is there such a thing as Darkness ?Professor : Yes. What is Night if there isn't Darkness ?Student : You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is the Absence of Something. You can have Low Light, Normal Light , Bright Light, Flashing Light . . .But if you have No Light Constantly, you have Nothing and it's called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't.If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?Professor : So what is the point you are making, Young Man?Student : Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is Flawed.Professor : Flawed ? Can you explain how ?Student : Sir, you are working on the Premise of Duality.You argue there is Life and then there is Death, a Good GOD and a Bad GOD. You are viewing the Concept of GOD as something finite, something we can measure.Sir, Science can't even explain a Thought. It uses Electricity and Magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view Death as the Opposite of Life is to be ignorant of the fact thatDeath cannot exist as a Substantive Thing.Death is Not the Opposite of Life : just the Absence of it. Now tell me, Professor, do you Teach your Students that they Evolved from a Monkey?Professor : If you are referring to the Natural Evolutionary Process, yes, of course, I do.Student : Have you ever observed Evolution with your own eyes, sir ?( The Professor shakes his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument is going )Student : Since no one has ever observed the Process of Evolution at work and cannot even prove that this Process is an On - Going Endeavor, are you not Teaching your Opinion, sir? Are you not a Scientist but a Preacher?( The Class is in Uproar )Student : Is there anyone in the Class who has ever Seen the Professor's Brain ?( The Class breaks out into Laughter )Student : Is there anyone here who has ever Heard the Professor's Brain, Felt it, Touched or Smelled it ? . . .No one appears to have done so. So, according to the Established Rules of Empirical, Stable, DemonstrableProtocol, Science says that you have No Brain, sir.With all due respect, sir, how do we then Trust your Lectures, sir ?( The Room is Silent. The Professor stares at the Student, his face unfathomable)Professor : I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.Student : That is it sir . . . the Link between Man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Moving & Alive.NB:I believe you have enjoyed the Conversation . . . and if so . . .you'll probably want your Friends / Colleagues to enjoy the same . . .won'tyou ? . . .

ICE(In Case Of Interagency

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory. But nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending on us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored ; but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this "ICE" (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.

The concept of "ICE" is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name "ICE" ( In Case Of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as "ICE."

For more than one contact name, simply enter ICE 1, ICE 2 and ICE 3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today!!! !

Please forward this. It won't take too many "forwards" before everybody will know about this. It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest .

ICE will speak for you when you are not able to do so
