An interesting conversation

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty.

He asks one of his new students to stand and.....

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student: Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student:Yes.

Prof: 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: (Student is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Is Satan good?

Student: No.

Prof: Where does Satan come from?

Student: From...God...

Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?

Student: Yes.

Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?

Student: Yes.

Prof: So who created evil?

Student: (Student does not answer.)

Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don't they?

Student: Yes, sir.

Prof: So, who created them?

Student: (Student has no answer.)

Prof: 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.

Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?

Student: No , sir.

Prof: 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.

Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?

Student: Yes.

Prof: 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.

Prof: Yes. Faith. And that is the problem science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?

Prof: Yes.

Student: And is there such a thing as cold?

Prof: 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?

Prof: 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 were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?

Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?

Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.

Prof: 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?

Prof: 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?

Prof: (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 endeavour, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you not a scientist but a preacher?

Prof: (The class is in uproar.)

Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?

Prof: (The class breaks 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?

Prof: (The room is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face unfathomable.)

Prof: 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.

Went to Pasir ris park with karen

hahahahahha, today is so fun! karen and I went there as slackers, we are supposed to design some houses for the GVN. and we met at pasir ris MRT and im supposed to look out for a guy who looked like a "terrorist". He's the person in charge. he really looked like one, so sad we didn't take a photo of him. i bought a new camera, cannon one, 6megapixel. sigh, i've been spoiling many things in recent yrs, in the past 1 and a 1/2 yrs, i've spoilt 2 pairs of specs, 1 camera, 2 bags, 1 pair of sunglasses, one of my dad's favourite painting, one of his favourite pen, one of his precious ancient "gun"---only for keeping but real gun, looks like it existed in the 1700s or 1800s. nvm, yar, i've been very "sui" recently. but nvm, i've got my new camera, and hope it can survive longer than...expected....say 2 years? i hope. my new laptop was predicted to survive for only 2 yrs. my dad's prediction. duno if it will come true or not. but think in another way, it will not be a very bad thing either, cos like that i can get a newer and better one, oh year, the previous camera died quite tragically, i dropped it, it landed hard on the floor, as if it's not enough...my fat foot stepped on it...and my slow functioning brain did not realise wad had happened until...quite a while...and as usual, it takes some time to pass the signal to my nerve system...and like after ages then i psychologically and physically realised what i did. but by that time....it's been pronounced dead for quite a while, cos... i think im too fat, my 1/2 a 100 kg landed on that small pathetic cam...IM SO ULTRA SORRY! should have burried it, but dad's it's not environmentally friendly, well....he's the only one who can remain calm and think straight no matter wad happens, even when i spoilt his "gun", he pretended nothing had happened... but i think i almost saw his TEARS....may be im imagining things, but i recovered very soon, but dad seems to take some time to get out of that "disaster". then i was banned to get any where near to his...compound....but i can always sneak in. nvm, it wasn't my worse experience, heard that the worse thing is when i ate up one of his "official papers" when im two yrs old. that was a mystry, a myth in the family, no one knows how i did it, but it was a fact cos everyone saw me shitting it out together with newspapers. it wasn't much decomposed when i shit it out, it was out within a few hrs after i ate it, must not have tasted nice....n i bet im intellectual at that pt of time, i juz wana absorb more knowledge, if i ever know wad "knowledge" is at that time. no wonder im so clever and knowledgeable now,hehehe. heard that that time my dad's face turned from white to green to purple and then to black and then...duno...im surprised with that kind of colourful transformations he can still stay alive. nvm, why am i talking abt this? well, the moral of the story is, my dad loves me,(proven by the fact that im still living healthily now and not killed by him) and im a very very very very DESTRUCTIVE daughter who's hard and expensive to raise. okay, close case.

yeah, back to topic, actually i wana say that i had a very fun time with karen, first time we didn't quarell and we had a fun time snapping away at weird stuff. really, we both really have weird sense of beauty, those things we took are very very odd. shall upload the pics when im free. and that karen, keep talking "surprise" photos of me, when im...when i got too high, then i started dancing then she...took pics of me and kept laughing at it!!!!walao, and many other such kind of photos, she says that it showed the true side of me, never know that my truuuuuuuue side is so funny, really funny, my expressions are very very very funny. maybe can be second, the first is still xinni. ahhahahahahahahaha, nvm, im being weird. and that karen kept snapping at other strangers too. and kept saying," i scared that they'll box me! hwohowhow???" walao, u ownself wana take pic of others wad. aiyo, and most of the time bcos she's too slow, by the time she take out the cam and set everything or even by the time she focus, the people will be gone, so often she ends up taking the backs of the people. and also, we saw a very very very young handsome boy. really "shuai" standard. he's foreigner, European i think, damn handsome, super handsome, and i managed to take a photo of him, so cool and he's so gentleman like, im so....................charmed by him....oh my gracious god!!!!!!!!hahahhahaha

good old memories

I duno wad to say laz, went to DHS website…kind of accidental…cos actually wana go NJ one…nvm…hahaha, when I was in DHS I never went to the website b4, duno why, Anyway, I saw this ad…saying that the 艺林 which is the chinese magazine or sth that Dhs use to have is trying to get articles from the alumni, existing students etc… Suddenly I have this urge to write one. Really, but then the person in charge is Jiang ling, I dun feel like pass her my writing, not safe really. Aiya, but I really wana Write sth, being in DHS for like 4 yrs, 3of these 4yrs are unhappy years while the 4th Year is the best one, the year that makes me feel for dhs, makes me feel like a Dunmanian, start to like or even love the sch. A bit too late but never mind, better Than never. Hahahaha. I think it’s because of the 2005 art class, I love the class so Much!!!! Though there’s someone like xiaohua, it doesn’t spoil the mood, I dun like her, Yeah， but then when im together with the art ppl I take her as invisible, and she act as if she’s invisible too, so no pain. Hehehe, I think im very bad, but nvm, who cares!haha Really, I miss dhs a lot, miss our art class a lot, last time we use to think that the art room Belongs to us, so we always “get crazy” there, have fun, scream, laugh, yell…even Cry inside that little tiny place that belongs to us, and us only!!!! Hahaha, im being Very very possessive, but who cares! Hahaha , but now in nj we have like many many Art rooms, but none of them seem to belong to us, anytime we wana enter any room we Need to ask for permission like that, not so serious la, but u’ll feel very uncomfortable. But although dhs art room is….dirty…messy…old…smell very weird…might even be Haunted, I still think it’s lovely to me, really, I can go in and jump and jump and jump and No one will ever scold me(unless mr low inside, but even when he’s inside I dun think He’ll scold me laz, he too use to my madness) so…only then I feel the freedom…real Freedom…not the kind that G.W.Bush always mention in his damn ridiculous speech. That kind of freedom…the kind that the Iraq ppl are “enjoying” now does not appeal To me hehehehehheheheehehe…and khor! I miss ur 黑眼圈!and lydia, juz miss u! (particularly
The“scold low” session in the small air-con room) hahahahahahahaha…oh! Im getting mad!!

我心中的陈道明

提起陈道明,我想没有人不知道的,女子更是如此.从女学生到女白领再到家庭主妇,他受每一阶层的喜欢.这个成熟的男人在中国应该是最受欢迎的吧! 他是单纯的,你会觉得他的那颗心是晶莹剔透的; 他是儒雅的,他戴上眼镜你会觉得他其实更像一个有着巨大吸引力的大学教授; 他是聪慧的,他的眼眸是洞察人世深透着智慧的; 他是淡泊的,他是从不在乎名和利的; 他是出世的,在他的身上你是看不出丝毫的市侩之气的; 他还是高傲的,一个清高的只肯在戏里低头的人的. 他也只有在戏里才低下那颗高贵的头颅,他总是高高在上,我们只能仰头望他.在看了他主演的后,那个小职员让我们误以为可以和他平等了.可等出了戏,他还是拿个高傲的他. 他不像那些年轻的偶像,如新上市的果汁饮料,新鲜一阵,新鲜劲过了,便被别的口味代替了.他不是,他更像一杯绿茶,时间越长,味道越醇! 他曾说过,当有一天你们看到我力不从心的时候,请你们一定要原谅我的江郎才尽.是的,他已老了,两鬓已有白发,虽不是李白那种"朝如青丝暮成雪'的人生短暂,但他真的不年轻了.没有人人愿意他老去,因为他的身上有我们的青春和狂热,他满足了我们对爱情和亲情的所有想象.我敢说,每一个女子都曾抱怨过"君生我未生,我生君已老'的不公人生,恨自己为什么没有早生几十年,从而不能嫁与他.与其说女子想嫁他这样的丈夫,不如说是想嫁他那样的父亲,他像是每个女子心中那个遥不可及的梦. 他老了,不论那个使他一举成名的中的年轻皇帝,到中那个满头白发的黑帮老大;还是从现实生活中当年刚出道的毛头小伙到现如今已进入"五十而知天命'的年龄来看,他都老了.老得让我们有些不太愿意接受,我们要的是那个永远活在舞台上的人,那个永远主宰着舞台,主宰着舞台上其他人命运的人,而不是那个渐渐老去的人! 国人内敛,不善于表达自己对他人的感情,夫妻尚且如此,何况父女?一般女子对父亲有的怕只剩下尊敬了.而父亲对女儿即使有着满怀的父爱,怕是也包含在教育中了.而明叔不一样,对女子来说,他是活在自己虚拟的世界中的,他不会责骂自己,教训自己.而他又是那么一个有内涵的男人,女子又有着年轻的关于对爱情的萌想,于是便把那么多的混合着爱情与亲情的感情给他了.我想着大概也是明叔深受女子喜欢的一个重要缘故吧!
