the saddest thing occured on gd friday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The Almighty. He asks one of his new Christian students to stand and...

Professor: You are a Christian, aren't you, son?

Student : Yes, sir.

Prof: So you believe in God?

Student : Absolutely, sir.

Prof: Is God good?

Student : Sure.

Prof: Is God all-powerful?

Student : Yes.

Prof: My brother died of cancer even though heprayed 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 is silent.)

Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. 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 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 endeavour, 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.

Ain't it gd? Take some time to digest it man!

As Man U continue to chase for the EPL titleship with 6 games left, they stumble against the EPL giants this week.

 

A R S E N A L

 

This constant top class powerhouse who are on top form recently is making a trip to Old Trafford to challenge Man U for their quest for an almost impossible mission.

 

Arsenal who are currently doing very well with a massive European form
>> 8 consecutive clean sheets

>> Defeated giants like Real Madrid, Juventus

>> Jens Lehmann(GK) chosen as Germany's No. 1 choice for WC 2006 due to outstanding form

 

The fans of Man Utd must be praying extremely hard that their team will not stumble under the hands of Arsenal..

 

All focus is on Chelsea as they face West Ham this wk..

 

1900hrs.. Kick-off

1910hrs.. J Collins scored for West Ham (Chelsea 0-1 West Ham)

1917hrs.. N Maniche (Chelsea) got red-carded. Down to 10 men.

Man U fans must be celebrating at home with high hopes that Chelsea will collapse once again..

 

BUT.. the drama unveils..

 

1928hrs.. D Drogba 1-1

1931hrs.. H Crespo 2-1

1954hrs.. J Terry    3-1

2009hrs.. W Gallas  4-1

 

FT: Chelsea 4-1 West Ham >> 3 pts to Chelsea, extending the lead to 10pts gap.

 

 

Manchester United have to win to continue with this fight..

 

2300hrs.. Kick-off

Arsenal were attacking.. passing... crossing.. so correctly..

Man U were just merely trying to defend defend and gain possesion..

As the game goes, tempo begins to pick up..

In front of another history-making crowd capacity (of OT and EPL games) at Old Trafford of 70 908 fans,

the red devils gel together as a team and begin to push Arsenal.

Ruud tried, Rooney tried, but all were wonderfully saved by Lehmann and the Arsenal defence.

Rooney almost got a goal or maybe a penalty claim when K Toure apparently hand-balled to clear the thunderous shot but the referee G Poll miss it and play it on..

 

At HT.. 0-0.

 

The Red Devils did not give up, they persevered..

After the break, they pushed further..

And then...

54th min, a beautiful cross by Vidic was converted by W Rooney (Man U 1 up!)

*i screamed so loudly.. ran around my living room roaring with joy.. going to msn irritating pple and celebrated wildly..

the joy did not end there.. Man U cont to slaughter and attack..

as they defend well up against the quick-footed Arsenal, Man U had another one again..

this time (78th min).. W Rooney was cutting up the right flank with Senderos jus behind him. The defender clipped Roon's legs but he cont to drive down the flank and did a low-cross past Lehmann which was converted by J S Park (the korean star) 2-0! His 1st goal of EPL!

*i burst out crying!!! Was overjoyed.. flooded the msn pple again.. haha.. (eileen scolded me), sms caixia and told her cuz she oso die-hard Man U fan.

 

FT: ManU 2-0 Arsenal. 3 pts!

 

You must be the happiest human being around if u're a Man Utd fan! 9 consec wins and they overcame the odds and did it again.

 

Special thanks to the heroics of the Man U defence team with special mention of Edwin Van der Sar(GK), Rio Ferdinand and Nemanja Vidic (who defended so well as a central defence combination).

Finally!!!!!

Phew~! Graduated from my ltc class!

Had 2 mock cell-grps today and it was real fun!

 

For the past few wks.. learnt so many precious lessons on leading a cg.

Met so many new frens..

Also my 1st time playing for P&W for a class..

Really excited!

Learnt many valuable lessons from the pastors, song leaders and one another!

 

Today's class was evaluated by Sis Agnus and Bro Gabriel.

They were all great leaders with excellence.. They debriefed us and taught us how to improve.

I did testi and then offering..

Really enjoyed myself today..

 

Thank God for ths opportunity to learn..

God, I'm ready!

Hey pple..

haha, once again.. another superstar competition in s'pore!

well, some time ago i did comment on Project Superstar and the winner, Kelvin Tan Wei Lian.

Haha.. btw, i'm actually going for his concert with my family as a form of support.

 

As for this new superstar thing for the students..

not bad lar, for a start..

quite cute.. most of them got so much youth.. *i'm old already!!!

reminds me of emerge.. haha (my church's youth conference)

 

Personally i quite like male contestant -Adriano.. think his style,looks and singing is one of the better one.

 

Well.. for Renfred.. haa.. o.. k.. la.. can sing.. juz tt his dance steps are of an advantage for him but obviously Zhiyang is better in terms of quality and presence.

For female.. no particular preference.. haha..both also not bad lar.. but Teresa slightly betta. poor geraldine, sick. think she's quite bold and yong gan.. makes me think of S.H.E's  S. haha.. Teresa sweet looking lar.. but still so-so for her singing..

 

hehe.. overall, obviously the project superstars' seniors are much better and professional in terms of their quality, stage presence and experience. but for these young kids, not bad.. give you 3 1/2 stars alright? keep it up! pursue ur dreams and singing! come CHC join emerge la.. hehe..more happening!

 

Who's gonna be the overall champ? i favor Zhiyang.. cute boyish looks.. a bit like Jeff Zhang (Zhang xin zhe).

All the best?  *overall winner results not out yet at time of post!

 

Will i predict correctly? we'll see...

shh... i tou tou sms one vote for u Zhiyang! Jiayou!

 

PS: tis note is for Zheng Guo, my die hard singing buddy... Our duo E-Z (Edwin and Zheng Guo) on acoustic singing is the BEST!!!! i miss our times of performances! Cheers! 2003 PJC Talentime Champions!!!
