THE PREMISE OF DUALITY 

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to 
his class on the problem 
science has with God, the Almighty. 
He asks one of his new Christian students to 
stand and….. 
Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, 
son? 
Student : Yes, sir.

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 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 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 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? 
(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? 
(The class is in uproar.) 
Student : Is there anyone in the class who 
has ever seen the Professor’s 
brain? 
(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? 
(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. 
: That is it sir.. The link between man 
& god is FAITH. 
That is all that keeps things moving & alive. 
NB: 
I believe you have enjoyed the 
conversation…and if so…you’ll 
probably want your friends/colleagues to enjoy 
the same…won’t 
you?…forward them to increase their 
knowledge…
