(i thought this was the coolest thing ever...i got it in an email..so i thought i'd share it w/ you!)


"Let me explain the problem science has with JesusChrist." The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.


"You're a Christian, aren't you, son?"

"Yes sir," the student says.

"So you believe in God?"

"Absolutely."

"Is God good?"

"Sure! God's good."

"Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?"

"Yes."

"Are you good or evil?"

"The Bible says I'm evil."

The professor grins knowingly. "Aha! The Bible!" He considers for a moment.

"Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?"

"Yes sir, I would."

"So you're good...!"

"I wouldn't say that."

"But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't."

The student does not answer, so the professor continues. "He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?"

The student remains silent.

"No, you can't, can you?" the professor says. He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.

"Let's start again, young fella Is God good?"

"Er...yes," the student says.

"Is Satan good?"

The student doesn't hesitate on this one. "No."

"Then where does Satan come from?"

The student : "From...God..."

"That's right. God made Satan, didn't he? Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?"
"Yes, sir."

"Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?"

"Yes."

"So who created evil?" The professor continued, "If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil."

Without allowing the student to answer, the professor continues: "Is there sickness?
Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?"

The student: "Yes."

"So who created them?"

The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question.

"Who created them? There is still no answer. Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized.

"Tell me," he continues onto another student. "Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?"

The student's voice is confident: "Yes, professor, I do."

The old man stops pacing. "Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?"

"No sir. I've never seen Him"

"Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?"

"No, sir, I have not."

"Have you ever actually felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?"

"No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't."

"Yet you still believe in him?"

"Yes."

"According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?"

"Nothing," the student replies. "I only have my faith."

"Yes, faith," the professor repeats. "And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith."

The student stands quietly for a moment, before asking a question of his own.

"Professor, is there such thing as heat?"

"Yes," the professor replies. "There's heat."

"And is there such a thing as cold?"

"Yes, son, there's cold too."

"No sir, there isn't."

The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet.

The student begins to explain.

"You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that. There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go colder than the lowest -458 degrees. 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 (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it."

Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer.

"What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?"

"Yes," the professor replies without hesitation.

"What is night if it isn't darkness?"

"You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it 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? That's the meaning we use to define the word. In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?"

The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester. "So what point are you making, young man?"

"Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed."

The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. "Flawed? Can you explain how?"

"You are working on the premise of duality," the student explains. "You argue that there is life and then there's 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?"

"If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do"

"Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"

The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going.
A very good semester, indeed.

"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 now not a scientist, but a preacher?"

The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided.

"To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean."

The student looks around the room. "Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?"

The class breaks out into laughter.

"Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelled the professor's brain? 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, with all due respect, sir. So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?"

Now the room is silent.

The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable.

Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers.

"I guess you'll have to take them on faith."

"Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life," the student continues.

"Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?"

Now uncertain, the professor responds, "Of course, there is. We see it everyday. 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 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.

Doubt.

When tears fall, They crash down,
but when you've cried so many,
the ones that fall have no meaning,
can they crash?

When life shatters all around you,and it has no worth
and everything was broken to begin with,
does life really shatter?

When you overcome hardships, but they keep racing back.
and twisting everything you've worked so hard for,
have you really overcome?

When you seek helpand shelter with a rescuer,
but you always find yourself in the same deep waters,drowning again,
have you really been rescued?

When you look to your friends for guidence and support,
but they keep letting you fall,
are you really being supported?

When life is tearing at the seams,
should God sew it up?
Can He? Will He? SHOULD He?

Doubt is my biggest insecurity,should i crawl outside my box to seek help,
or should i stay inside, where im safe and comfortable?
I'll stay safe.With my guard up, safe and secure.
'Til i can trust my heart fully.

What a weekend!!!

mood: mellow
good day/bad day: pretty dang good.

so this weekend drew came to see ACU...but of course i couldnt just let him come to abilene and not see me..so we hung out quite a bit...which was SOOO much fun and i totally loved every min. of it. (thanks dude!)

and today i got to go get my senior pics taken. which that was pretty cool...i totally enjoyed that. i mean who doesnt like being the center of attention...jkjkjk...
i have an english test i have to study for...but i think ill be ok. i've looked over it afew times...so i think i know everything. ill pass for sure.

but about this weekend...
i cant believe what is happening to me. i mean i still feel closed up and like i should still be protecting myself for getting hurt...but when im with this guy...i cant help but just be in total and complete love with him. its crazy. my heart goes wild and i just cant stop smiling. i get these weird feelings that freak me out and it uncontrolable. he takes my breathe away. but deep down i feel like i should still have this unbreakable shield up. but he breaks it down w/o even knowing...it blows my mind! so im still very confused...and i think im supposed to be in a way...but im almost freaked out...and i think i freaked him out a little too b/c i didnt talk very much and i was staring off into space alot of the time...im sure that was weird for him...sorry. but i just couldnt wrap my mind around why the crap would someone still want me, even though i was w/ this guy for 3 years and from all the stuff i've done and been through...why me? why?? i mean shouldnt he be worried or anything...i mean nothing would EVER happen, but im a little jealous sometimes and i would DEFINATLY worry...but i also wouldnt tell anyone...so maybe thats what he's doing..idk...im making my head hurt thinking about it. but i just cant help BUT love him...its crazy.

so off of that subject b/c its probably REALLY boring to you...everyone should check out "pure-photography.com" and check out some of the stuff my photographer has done....she's AMAZING! its great! anywho..i hope you have a great night!!!

PEACE!!!

It's been awhile.

mood: depressed
good day/bad day: its hard to describe. good and bad.

so i havnt written in awhile. but im in the mood to write.
...ill start by filling yall in on what's gone on in the past couple of weeks, then ill let you know about how my day has gone, and how i feel about all that.

so last time i wrote it was a wed. and it was good. but since then, i've had my first wreck, our school has made it to playoffs, i have taken two major test and i have made more friends.
my first wreck...was actually not in my car and it was not my fault. someone ran in to me while i was stopped at a rail road crossing. so there you go. and our school is second in our district so we will advance to playoffs week after next. which is oh so exciting. and the other is pretty self explanatory. i dont have my grades back but i hope to get them soon....and i love making friends...its so fun.

ok...so about my day. well, yesterday too. so me and a really good friend...like she's my best friend were talking yesterday...i didnt see anything wrong w/ telling my best friend what mood i was in and how i was feeling. but i told her not even thinking twoce about it b/c i trusted her. but today...me and a guy go see a movie....i dont see any harm in that...just two friends going to see a movie. and i had even told the guy i want to date what i was up to...so its not like i was sneaking around and trying to hook up with him...we were just bored and he was like 'hey you want to go see a movie or something??" and i was like ya i have nothing better to do...lets go...so we did. anyway my best friend found out where he was and text me and she got so freaking mad that i was with him...(oh its her ex btw...but she's dating someone else) so she's telling me how bad of a friends that i am and that im such a whore b/c of the mood i was in last night and blah blah....so im sitting here like what the crap did i do. i mean i dont want to hook up w/ him and i just wanted to be his friend and i cant do that b/c she thinks that its unlawful for her best friend to go ahng out w/ her ex boyfriend. which is kind of silly to me b/c i thought she was over him and she's "in love" with another guy...and she freaked out b/c "i cant do that to her"...so i dont know what to do...i mean i dont want to loose two friends over this but it all seems SO STUPID to me. i mean why i cant i be both their friends....she told me that he was "untouchable" to me....which in the sense of dating i want him to be that way..but as friends???? i dont understand...i just dont understand. im so upset about it too. i mean she knows i like this other guy...and the other guy knows EXACTLY where i stand and knows what i was doing....so why is it SO wrong??? idk...i feel so lost and confuse...
so when i first started feeling that way...i went and ran 3 miles....and when i got back justin had called so i called him back and he wanted me to go to this concert they were putting on tonight but i was like no...b/c i feel like crap....so i told him the story and he felt the same way i do. but he advised me to be careful...b/c i dont need to be leading guys on...but i dont think i did that. so i think im safe. but i still feel like crap...even though all i did was go see a movie and go home. UHHH!!! and i havnt even had the chance to talk to drew(the guy i like) about it b/c he's been at work... :(...so the second half of my day was horrible....except for running and talking a nap.
wow....i just wrote like a novel....ill let you get on w/ your life....im sure this was very boring and very bland...sorry. PEACE i hope you had a much better day than i.

whew what a day!

mood: blah
good day/bad day: it wasnt bad....

so this morning we had FCA...which is totally cool. and one of my really good friends did the lesson...but as i was listening it came to me that i really needed to do a lesson on forgivness....which is weird b/c thats something i dont struggle w/. but i think im going to do that. which will be TOTALLY AWESOME! im pumped...

but anywho...i've been thinking alot about the future lately...which i should be...but more specifically like real near future...
this weekend is my last marching contest i will ever go to...which is a VERY good thing...but im sad that i have to leave everyone...
and next week im taking my ACT and im really getting serious about college...and very soon ill be attending my last high school football game EVER! thats so sad. :(
but it really hits home to know that some of your very best friends are about to step out of your life forever. i dont like that feeling...at all.
i know that God doesnt want us to worry about the future and stuff, and im not, but i really want to know if ill be surrounded by good people. and that ill be supported in everyway. and this is all totally his will and i dont have a clue about any of it...but i can help but wonder about it..

oh by the way...school is KICKING my butt right now...i love it love it love it...but biology and gov't are a killer. im trying to prepare myself for college, and my mom is working to help me to try to mange my money, but i feel like i really need to step it up and take complete control of EVERY aspect of my life....like money, time, school, my extracarriculars, everything. i want to be on my own and i want to take care of myself and be independant....i guess i just want freedom...but other than that i think school is awesome...its by far the best year of school so far and its done nothing but get better...so im really looking forward to it...

so this blog is totally random but i dont really care...hope i didnt waste too much of your time...i hope you have a great day!!! PEACE!

so basically life sucks sometimes.

mood: REALLY tired and not looking forward to tomorrow...
good day/bad day: UUUHHGGGG!!

so today was sucky! i woke up late, my gov teacher is crazy and i have to wear a dress to school tomorrow. that sucks!

but i think that everything will turn out great b/c there is alot going for me right now...so ill make it through b/c IM A SUPER STAR!! (hence the picture)

i do get to babysit tomorrow...which im totally excited about and i have 2 major exams out of the way..just one to go. ive actually been reading my book for english so ill have it done by next tuesday for sure...ive been sliming down alot b/c of my work out habits so that EXCITES me! way pumped...there nothing that can make a girl feel better than to know they have a nice body...well there are things, but it sure does make me feel good at least...

i was really mad yesterday b/c my lowest grade was in accounting and that class is EASY! i was ticked!!
but we're changing that this six weeks....
and now im really tired b/c i just got done running 2 miles and now im going to take a nap...
PEACE OUT!! (you can be a super star too!!!)

OH...a good verse that i found this week is...

Ephesians 3:19
"..and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be
filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."

blah bluh blahblah...

mood: VERY tired and burned out
