What does horse training got to do with a science genius?

Just yesterday, I got this interesting
email. I decided to pass it along because it simply
provokes thought.

I also wanted to send it to you today to give a
bit of a break from our intense bombproofing info
I've been handing out.

Without further a-do...

Subject: Did God Create Everything?

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,quite pleased
with himself, 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 aquestion 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 F) is the total
absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and
incapable of reaction at 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 atleast 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.
