Albert Einstein
‘Let me explain the problem science has with religion.’ The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.
‘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? Hmmm? 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 up 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. ‘Fl awed? 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 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 lecture s, 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 everyday 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.

My Favorite Bible Verses
1 Chronicles 28:20-21
"David also said to Solomon his son, "be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God, is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished. The divisions of the priests and Levites are ready for all the work on the temple of God, and every willing man skilled in any craft will help you in all the work. The officials and all the people will obey your every command."
Phillipians 4:13
"I can do EVERYTHING through HIM who gives me strength."
1 Timothy 4:12-16
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love in faith and in purity. Until I come, devote yourself to the public reading of Scripture, to preaching and to teaching. Do not neglect your gift, which was given you through a prophetic message when the body of elders laid their hands on you. Be diligent in these matters; give yourself wholly to them, so that everyone may see your progress. Watch your life and doctrine closely. Persevere in them, because if you do, you will save both yourself and your hearers."

Prayer Meeting
Tomorrow is the official first day of prayer meeting at Cypress High School!!!!
I'm so excited/anxious to see how it will go.
I pray that God will guide me, give me courage and help me.
I pray that it will not be through pride, but out of humility that I will be able to share the UBTJ vision (;

Hmmm......
Hopefully tomorrow will turn out to be a success, going to ask Ms. Lindburg if I can use her room to hold prayer meetings, but need to crush my pride first.
Having this one song stuck in my head.
"I love You Lord, You rescued me, You are all that I want, You're all I need."
Ezekiel 3:18-21 is going through my mind.

Article Final Draft
Insignificant News
Most people are only interested in the things that they want to see. This generation is called the “Me Generation” because of all the things that “me” want. It’s always about what I want and what I want to do. We are such a selfish and foolish generation; we don’t appreciate the people and things in life. Although not all people are like this, we are stereotyped as this. The media shows us what they think is important and distort the young developing minds; brainwashing us, we automatically conform to it. The media only care about famous people and nothing about innocent people dying everyday.
People that die for doing or saying something that they believe in are not recognized as people like Britney Spears or Jamie Lynn Spears. When Britney Spears lost custody of her children, and people crowding over to get her input on it, where were the people crowding over to try to help the starved kids of the slums all over the world? It is almost befuddling to how arrogant people can be. When Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant at such a young age, it was all over magazines, but only do we seldom see magazines about innocent children dying everyday due to hunger and disease. However we find not only natural occurrences do this, but humane actions as well.
Kids die from the crass things and tragedies all over the world due to gang violence. Just because of the color of their skin they are killed, even through their deaths they are not commemorated or remembered by the world. The world is more interested in what Zac Efron has to say about fashion or a cute girl, or what a new song the Jonas Brothers make. Violence is all around; it is a war on the streets, pointless killing to resolve nothing, and ending with more bloodshed. There are too many bigots in this world that think one race is superior over another. We have to learn how to abate and teach the next generation not to make the same mistakes the previous generation has. It is frustrating to see all the fallacy that is put into our minds. These people die, and yet they are not recognized.
A man died of AIDS and only had a section of grass to be remembered by, he didn’t even have a headstone that said his name, and you need a map to find his grave. His son/daughter can’t even put flowers on her father’s grave because he doesn’t have a place to put it; no one cares of another man that died of AIDS. “The media makes a big deal of a movie star breaking a leg or a toe, but if a man with as much wisdom as my father passes away, no one cares.” -Diary Entry 81 of the Freedom Writer Diary. This Freedom Writer writes about her father that he/she loved very much that died of a vicious disease that kills millions of innocent lives everyday, but how no one even recognized him. They are too caught up with all the things that happen in this world to famous people in the eyes of this propaganda filled world.
To be candid, “we” all are like this, though there are some that are impeccable. Those are the few that are the hope for this generation. I hate using “we” because it is ignorant, but ignorance is bliss. Only when we experience things as destitute, poverty, death to gang violence or sickness do we start to understand and empathize why and how someone might feel a certain way. Even “we” feel like this and at the very end, it’s too late. This Freedom Writer has to go through so much pain and even the world would not recognize her father for it; just another dead person to another heartless disease. It is to remember these people for the things they have done by what they believe in and what they lived for, and not from the eyes of the media, but the people they have impacted.

Unconsciously killed two little bugs.

I don't know what to say, 'cus you took my breath awayE B C#m
You said we'd be together, forever,

But why did you go and leave me,
B C#m A
I don't know what to do , 'cus you're not with me anymore
E B C#m A
All I want to say is I love you, I love you
E B C#m
All I want to do is hold you,

This is the whisper of my heart
E B C#m A
E B C#m A
Come back to me, so I can feel the softness of your skin

Can't you hear my heart singing, it's saying I love you
I don't know why, I just felt like writing a song.

Boredom Leads to Inspiration
I haven't written in a long time
But seems like there's nothing better to do
So I'll do this little something for you
The empty coke bottle on my desk reminds me of your body
The dumbell is like the weight of the world in my heart
Unspoken love, is a heavy burden to carry
I put my earphones on because I don't want to hear the things of the world except your voice
The lamp is a little too bright, but not enough to light up my world like how your smile does
The closet reminds of how long I stood in front of it the very first day I went out to meet you
Not knowing what to wear, staring foolishly
It's 11:27 PM, yet I don't feel like sleeping
I can't get you off my mind
I can't say you're a drug because I've never taken drugs and wouldn't know
But from what people tell me it's pretty drastic
Just like you
How a simple glance from you makes my heart twist and turn
Knowing I have no chance with you
A smile or a laugh is all I want, but once I get it
I can't stop
Only if I could stop all the insecurity and have you with me
My phone sits here right next to me
Waiting for a text or a call from you
But it hasn't rung for a while
My calendar says It's September 23rd, 2009
Seems like the date has no effect on love
Because I still feel like a little kid
This joy I feel when I see your name pop up in my buddy list
Like a child that got a new toy
I want to cherish every moment with you.

Walked up to you, just to say, Hello

But I couldn't get H-E-L-L-O out of my mouth, Yeahh... Yeahh...
G C Em D
So stood there, like a fool, but a fool in love with you
Em G C D
I love you, why don't you, say you love me.... too!
Em G C D
I love you, why don't you, say you love me.... too
Randomly playing and came up with this at church.

Naps
Do you know the feeling you get when you wake up from a nap?
It's like this little itching at your brain
'cus you still have homework left to do and it's already 3 hours from the time you've been asleep
I hate that feeling.
But it's not like we can go back in time and do homework.
Time to go finish Chemistry and studying for Vocabulary.
Oh Joy.

Insignificant News
Most people are only interested in the things that they want to see. This generation is called the “Me Generation” because of all the things that “me” Want. It’s always about what I want and what I want to do. We are such a selfish and foolish generation; we don’t appreciate the people and things in life. Although not all people are like this, we are stereotyped as this. The media shows us what they think is important and distort the young developing minds; brainwashing us, we automatically conform to it. The media only care about famous people and nothing about innocent people dying everyday.
People that die for doing or saying something that they believe in are not recognized as people like Britney Spears or Jamie Lynn Spears. When Britney Spears lost custody of her children, and people crowding over to get her input on it, where were the people crowding over to try to help the starved kids of the slums all over the world. When Jamie Lynn Spears got pregnant at such a young age, it was all over magazines, but only do we seldom see magazines about innocent children dying everyday due to hunger and disease. However we find not only natural occurrences do this, but humane actions as well.
Kids die from the stupid things and tragedies all over the world due to gang violence. Just because of the color of their skin they are killed, even through their deaths they are not commemorated or remembered by the world. The world is more interested in what Zac Efron has to say about fashion or a cute girl, or what a new song the Jonas Brothers make. Violence is all around; it is a war on the streets, pointless killing to resolve nothing, and ending with more bloodshed. Many people have not been recognized for their lives.
A man died of AIDS and only had a section of grass to be remembered by, he didn’t even have a headstone that said his name, and you need a map to find his grave. His son/daughter can’t even put flowers on her father’s grave because he doesn’t have a place to put it; no one cares of another man that died of AIDS. “The media makes a big deal of a movie star breaking a leg or a toe, but if a man with as much wisdom as my father passes away, no one cares.” This Freedom Writer writes about her father that he/she loved very much that died of a vicious disease that kills millions of innocent lives everyday, but how no one even recognized him. They are too caught up with all the things that happen in this world to famous people in the eyes of this propaganda filled world.
It is easy to say that “we” all are like this, but some aren’t, and those are the few that are the hope for this generation. I hate using “we” because it is ignorant, but ignorance is bliss. Only when we experience things as poverty, death to gang violence or sickness do we start to understand and empathize why and how someone might feel a certain way. Even “we” feel like this and at the very end, it’s too late. This Freedom Writer has to go through so much pain and even the world wouldn’t recognize her father for it; just another dead person to another heartless disease. It is to remember these people for the things they have done by what they believe in and what they lived for, and not from the eyes of the media, but the people they have impacted.
