It is very inspiring.
With below I would like to share among of my friends.

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his
> Class on the Problem
> Science has
> with GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked 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 was 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 did 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 had 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, Smelt 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 became 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 was 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
> its 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 that
> Death 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 shook his head with a Smile, beginning to
> realize where the
> Argument was 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 was in Uproar )* *
>
> Student :* *Is there anyone in the Class who has ever
> seen the
> Professor's Brain?
>
> (The Class broke out into Laughter )* *
>
> Student :* *Is there anyone here who has ever heard the
> Professor's
> Brain, Felt it, touched or Smelt it? . . .* *
> No one appears to have done so. * *
> So, according to the Established Rules of
> Empirical,
> Stable, Demonstrable Protocol,
> Science says that You have No Brain, sir.
> With all due respect, sir, how do we then
> Trust your
> Lectures, sir?* *
>
> (The Room was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student,
> his face
> unfathomable)* *
>
> Professor :* *I guess you'll have to take them on
> Faith, son.
> Student :* *That is it sir . . . Exactly !* *
> The Link between Man & GOD is FAITH.
> That is all that Keeps Things Alive and
> Moving.
