DOES EVIL EXIST???
Does evil exist? The 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
Christian faith was 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.
Every body or object is susceptible to study when it
has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have
or transmit energy.
Absolute zero (- 460 degrees F) is the total absence
of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction a 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. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use
Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various
wavelengths 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 every day. 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.
