I had read a story, in which a professor argues that there is no existence of God as there is no proof of his presence and he is ready to believe if somebody shows the God in front of him.
Then a student started his version. "Does any one of this class has seen our professor's brain? The answer is certainly 'No'. So, does it mean that he don't have brain"
(I also heard that the student is our honourable president A.P.J. Abdul Kalam (For the post of president there is no Former))
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 ...
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 God good then? Hmm?
(Prof: You can't answer, can you?? Let's start again, young fellow. 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
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 endeavor, 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.
Student: That is it sir... The link between man & god is FAITH. That is all that keeps things moving & alive.
WANT TO KNOW WHO THAT STUDENT WAS ?????
The student was none other than........ .

mr.James. who r traitors? who converted to other religions for the sake of alms and now destroying the indian heritage and culture are traitors and listen to the foreigner origin personal for ruling this country. we have seen enough how the administration is protecing the hindu monuments. though dwaraka is proved, no efforts are made to bring it out. the administrators are stooges to political bosses and traitors are who want to destroy hindism thought their ancestors were hindus. do not teach us. tamilnadu government is bent upon to destroy hindu culture in the name of anti brahminism and recent incidents in tirupati is staunch proof for the destruction of hindu culture. traitors who came to india converted the people forcibly to other religions and people got converted for the sake of money and try to tell sermons as employees

dear sonia, the fight between ram and ravan was between good and evil. only short sighted idiots see it as a fight for a lady. for that matter you might also questions what are other mythological figures in other religion have done. but, the way i look at things is that we shouldn't dwell much in past as it brings trouble.

our people in centre will always be like that. today they say there's no evidence of ram, tomorrow you might hear about allah and then you might also expect trouble between different groups like we all have seen in the past. they dont see the point that this bridge will be of immense benefit to both countries. amaresh
Lets declare Ram Monument right from Sethu Bridge to Ayodha. Bcos RAM has travel to and fro to these places. All place where Ram walked should be preseved. No more new buliding or demolish any buliding.
"Ram was and is for real. He was born on January 10, 5114 BC," Saroj Bala, IRS, Commisioner of Income Tax says, calmly, with the assurance of one who has tangible facts. Taking on the contemporary historical interpretation of Ramayana as a religio-literary text, and Lord Ram as a semi-mythical figure, is this unassuming person who zealously devotes her spare time to research in history
when she's not playing the tax mandarin. And she has chosen the unusual combination of astronomy, Internet and literary texts to provide us a startling picture of Shri Ram. This might change the way we look at history and religion. We might refuse to begin
reading Indian history from that comma, or hyphen called 'Indus Valley.' We might have to stretch the beginnings by a few thousand years because, as Saroj Bala says - Ram was born on January 10, 5114 BC.
Excerpts of an interview with the lady who has the intellectual courage to go beyond the obvious: What got it all started...
As an amateur historian, I've always been interested in Indian culture and heritage. I am proud that we're Indians and the products of one of the oldest civilisations. However, British rule changed us; we developed a sense of being somehow inferior. But I could never reconcile to theories like the theory of Aryan invasion to India in 1500 BC. That would make Indian civilization only 3,500 years old. And if you choose archaeology to dig beyond 7,000 years, you'd have to dig more than 60 metres %u2013 somethi

all false claims about his birth... Puranas show that he ruled for 11000 years and then died... if we calculate 11,0000 years from 5000 BCE we should have had been beyond the 6000
But my friends we are on golden age of Kaliyug (First 10,000 years- another around 100,000 years remain of Kaliyug then Kalki Avtar will happen) and its our duty to save our religion and its beliefs for sake of Human race, for sake of purity to remain in Human race.
I request all of followers of %u201CAarya Dharma%u201D to wake up and fight for thoughts.
JAY SHRI RAM

a monkey can build a bridge in the same way as a man could rip through the sea to save his folks as jesus christ did. i still believe jesus christ did that.

If a Virgin can be mother, then Monkey can build a bridge. Centre & ASI are wrong.
