Duality

An Atheist Professor of Philosophy was speaking to his Class on the Problem Science has With GOD, the ALMIGHTY. He asked one of his New Christian Students to stand and . . .

Professor: You are a Christian, aren't you, son ?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you Believe in GOD ?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is GOD Good ?
Student: Sure.
Professor: Is GOD ALL - POWERFUL ?
Student: Yes.
Professor: 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 was silent )

Professor: You can't answer, can you ? Let's start again, Young Fella. Is GOD Good?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is Satan good ?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does Satan come from ?
Student: From . . . GOD . . .
Professor: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this World?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn't it ? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil ?

(Student did not answer)
Professor: Is there Sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the World, don't they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who Created them ?

(Student had no answer)

Professor: 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.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever Heard your GOD?
Student: No , sir.
Professor: 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.
Professor: Yet you still Believe in HIM?
Student: Yes.
Professor: 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.
Professor: Yes, Faith. And that is the Problem Science has.

Student: Professor, is there such a thing as Heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as Cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir. There isn't..

(The Lecture Theatre became 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 was Pin-Drop Silence in the Lecture Theatre )

Student: What about Darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as Darkness?
Professor: 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 its called Darkness, isn't it? In reality, Darkness isn't. If it is, were you would be able to make Darkness Darker, wouldn't you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, Young Man ?
Student: Sir, my point is your Philosophical Premise is flawed.
Professor: 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?
Professor: 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 shook his head with a Smile, beginning to realize where the Argument was 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 was in Uproar )

Student: Is there anyone in the Class who has ever seen the Professor's Brain?

(The Class broke 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 was Silent. The Professor stared at the Student, his face unfathomable)

Professor: I guess you'll have to take them on Faith, son.
Student : That is it sir . . . Exactly ! The Link between Man and GOD is FAITH. That is all that Keeps Things Alive and Moving.

...Jeepney...

...sarao, mega, armak, malagueña, hebron, at marinel...pamilyar? ...oo, tama mga kilalang pangalan yan sa produksyon ng mga jeepney na pumapasada sa kalakhang Maynila at iba't ibang dako ng Pilipinas...hindi ko nga lang alam kung patuloy pa din ang kanilang pananatili sa merkado... matapos tumumal ang paggamit ng kalesa na syang dating simbulo ng transportasyon ng Pilipinas, naging kultura na nga pilipino ang paggamit ng jeepney... ang mga dating kutsero ay nagsimula ng mag-aral ng pagmamaneho ng jeep at dahil sa may mga pagkakataon na namimiss nila ang kanilang mga kabayo na idinoneyt sa Sta. Ana at San Lazaro, naglagay na lang sila ng pigura ng mga kabayo sa unahan ng jeep...totoo, masyadong senti ang mga Pilipino pagdating sa mga bagay na nakasanayan na... hindi nya ito agad binibitawan hanggang matutunang iayon ang sarili sa dapat nyang malaman... matapos ang ikalawang digmaang pandaigdig at paglisan ng mga Amerikano sa bansa...ang tira-tirang Jeep na ginamit sa digmaan ay mu

...the golden rule...

[repost by request].... mula ng magawa ko ang entry na " Time for Sale ", kung saan pinaliwanag na ang oras ay hindi lang ginto (time is gold)...nagkainteres din ako sa konsepto ng Golden Rule... malamang sa malamang sobrang familiar na tayo sa konseptong ito...ano nga ba ang golden rule?....ang sabi sa bible: "Do unto others as you would want done unto you." (Mt 7:12/Lk 6:31) ang sabi naman sa Budismo: "Putting oneself in the place of another, one should not kill nor cause another to kill" ( Harris E.J. 1997 ) ...halos ganito din ang mga konsepto ayon sa Confucianismo: "Never impose on others what you would not choose for yourself" (Confucius, Analects XV.24, tr. David Hinton) ...maging sa Islam ito rin ang sinasabi, sa katunayan isang sermon ni Muhammad na tinagurian The Farewell Sermon ay sinabi nya: "Hurt no one so that no one may hurt you" ...marami pang mga mga organisasyon at relihiyon sa mundo ang naniwala sa k

"Bugtong-bugtong. Hindi tao, hindi hayop, wala ka nito, wala din ako, wala ang bawat Pilipino, ano ito?" Sagot: Disiplina Ano nga ba ang disiplina? O mas maganda tanungin natin ang mga Pilipino.  Pero kahit anong hagilap nito, hindi ito makikita dahil wala ito sa bokabularyo ng Pilipino.  Aminin man natin o hindi, isa tayo sa madaming lahi sa buong mundo na wala nito. Kung sa ranking na 1-10 at 10 ang pinakamataas, malamang sa malamang ay 10.5 tayo sa kawalan ng disiplina.  Hindi ko naman sinasabi na lahat ng Pilipino ay ganito ngunit ito ang katotohanang hindi natin maitatanggi.  Maraming problema sa Pilipinas tulad ng basura sa estero, ilog at dagat, traffic sa lansanggan, mga taong walang trabaho, mabagal na proseso sa mga opisina pampubliko man o pribado, droga, korapsyon, prostitusyon, tsimosa sa kalye o social media, teenage pregnancy, squatter sa mga kalunsuran, sugal, babaero na hindi naman gwapo, mga siga sa kalye, rapist, lasenggero, holdaper, mamatay t
