Science and the Religion.
Friday, September 9, 2016
‘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? 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 falters. ‘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.’
Again, the student has no answer. ‘Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?’
The student squirms on his feet. ‘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 betrays him and cracks. ‘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 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.’
‘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 d own 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 it 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 endeavor, 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 smelt 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 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 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.
The student was Albert Einstein.

For Mufti Abdul Qavi.
Friday, June 24, 2016
For last few days I am really experiencing uneasiness that how the public over social media and TV channels are figuring out Mufti Abdul
Qavi. Few snaps of his private life are being repeatedly put on social media
and all TV channels that is totally
unjust. We all know every man is corrupt - misuse of power is green here,
financial corruption and intellectual dishonesty is in the roots of our society.
He is religious scholar So we cannot condone an act of peccadillo by Mufti
Sahib but it does not mean that we disturb his life to no end. Mufti's this act
offended us exactly because he is religious scholar and he should be a perfect
in his religious practices. But what about the rest of our all society? What
about our Universities and Colleges? What about our Lectures, Policemen and all
corrupt individual( Mentally and Financially)?
I really feel empathy that Mufti Sahib develop such a nice feelings for
a mentally sick lady, which is just poping fun for this fool nation. I strongly condemn Qandeel Baluch for
destroying image a good person.

World Peace.
Thursday, June 16, 2016
Peace.
Long ago, before the Founders established this great world
of ours, that word was all but meaningless. An ideal as elusive as a dream.
Now, later, we are, all of us, living proof that peace is indeed attainable.
The reason for this is, of course, our Faction System. Erudite, Dauntless,
Amity, Candor, Abnegation. In dividing people according to personality and
aptitude, we've created a society in which each faction plays a critical role
in maintaining the social order. But this harmony we achieved is now under
attack from a small but extremely dangerous group of individuals. We call them
Terrorist. They are, in essence, the worst of what humanity used to be.
Rebellious, defiant, and uncontrollable.

Tum Hero Ho.

Tum Hero ho….
Sharing these flicks in response to the
pictures shared on social media portraying the negative image of Pakistan. It
may not come as a surprise that some of us may not feel particularly proud to
introduce ourselves as Pakistanis to a new group of people. Here are few heroes
of Pakistan that you should feel proud of them.

Chabahar Port
May 23,2016. Iran, India and Afghanistan signed a tripartite agreement to turn the Chabahar portinto a transit hub bypassing Pakistan. Now Pakistani Sea Port Gawadar will lose it's momentum if Govt. of Pakistan don't take any counter step against it. It's a planed project of India to impair the economy of Pakistan.Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in Tehran that we are creating history But Gwadar is still a bigger port and has no comparison with chabahar , it can host biggest ships at its harbor due to its depth while chabahar lack this and many other qualities. India funded $500 million in chhabahar. CPEC is is 46$ billion program and further more only central Asian trade can go through Chabahar. Russia is more likely to tap into China and then Pakistan, and Central Asian trade through Chahbahar depends on situation in Afghanistan.

Trust !!
Thursday, June 11, 2015
“Trust is built with consistency.”
Trust means that you have placed your
confidence and faith in your partner, and that you expect honesty, integrity, loyalty, and respect to be at the center of your
relationship. We live life in social jungle being connected with all mortals,
so a social network is developed among these social entities. This social
network is called a relationship, this is for the purpose of connectivity,
communication, sharing (joys and gloominess) and producing offspring. So for
living a happy life we need a strong relationship with a reliable partner. Here
trust is an essential part in any relationship. Everyone
has uncertainty about whom to trust, how much to trust, when not to trust, and
so forth at one time or another time. In fact, every day we make choices about
whom and how much to trust, and sometimes we are more willing to trust than at
other times. We like to treat people as we have been treated. Smile at someone
and watch what happens back. The desire to return favors and repay punishments
is very difficult to control.So when a partner betrays our trust, it’s natural
to want to get even much worst. Essentially people think "if you are not
honest with me, why should I be honest with you?" But here my point is
that we should save relationships to keep working Prior to decide in mistrust condition
we should use cognitive power,identify the source of
problematic trust issues. Being unable to trust can destroy friendships,
careers, and marriages, but fortunately, learning to trust again is not
impossible it is possible with consistency in that relationship. I promise to save my
very important relationship and the same thing I except from you.
