The college professor challenged the class with this question. "Did God make
everything there is?"
One student bravely answered, "Yes!"
"Everything, young man?"
"Yes, he did, sir," the young man replied.
The professor responded, "If God made everything, then God made evil, and if
we can only create from within ourselves, then God is 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 a question is that? Haven't you ever been
cold?"
The young man replied, "Actually, sir, cold does not exist. What we consider
to be cold, is really only the 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 and 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 did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as
virtues like heat and light. Evil is simply the state where God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light." The professor had nothing to say.
