An interesting conversation between a Student & Teacher on God
The dialogue between the student and the teacher would be interesting,
- If the student is a genuine seeker, and at the moment is ambiguous about the existence of god, then the professor using irrefutable evidence can make the student's decision turn his way
- If the student has already made up his mind and is in the discussion to test his faith, he is sure to have supporting evidence to confront the professor with
- The teacher in either case has to be convincing, a good listener and should accept the student's point of view to provide an answer that is impartial and is based on facts and a well-founded belief system.
Either way, a great discussion is to follow!
This question brings to mind an interesting dialogue between an atheist professor and a very famous student. Read on to know more:
In 1902, a professor asked his student whether it was God who created everything that exists in the universe? Student replied: Yes He again asked: What about evil? Has God created evil also? The student was silent... Then the student requested that may he ask a question? Professor allowed him to do so. He asked: Does cold exist? Professor said: Yes! Don't you feel the cold dear? Student said: I'm sorry but you are wrong sir. Cold is a complete absence of heat. There is no cold, it is only the absence of heat. Student asked again: Does darkness exist? Professor Said: Yes! Student replied: you are again wrong sir. There is no such thing like darkness. Its actually the absence of light. Sir! We always study light & heat, but not cold & darkness. Similarly, the evil does not exist. Actually it is the absence of love, faith & true belief in God. Do you know that student was... Vivekananda...!!!
