The beginning of the twentieth century ... At the University of Berlin professor challenged the students the question: Did God create everything that exists? A student bravely replied: Yes, He is! God created everything? Asked the professor again. Yes, Professor, replied the student. The professor said: If God created everything, then he created evil. And judging by the rule - that our works define who we are - God is evil. The student was silent. The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. One other student raised his hand and said: Can I ask you a question, professor? Of course, he said this. The student stood up and said: Professor, does cold exist? What kind of question is that? Of course there is. Have you never been cold? Replied the professor. The young man replied, The fact is that the cold does not exist. According to the law of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Objects or living things can study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter passed energy. absolute zero is the total absence of heat, matter becomes inert and incapable of any reaction. 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 there is! The student replied: No, sir, darkness does not exist. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newtons prism to break white light and study the various wavelengths of color. We can not 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? What you can measure the amount of light present. Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when light is not present! Finally the young man asked, Professor, does evil exist? Uncertain, the professor responded, There.ll See it every day in the examples of mans inhuman behavior. In crime and violence. To this the student replied, Evil does not exist, Professor. Or at least, there is not only for yourself. This is 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 just a lack of God, the lack of Gods love in my heart. The professor sat in silence ...
