"Does evil exist?" The university professor challenged his students with this question. "Did God create everything that exists?"
A student bravely replied "Yes, he did!"
"God created everything?" The professor asked.
"Yes sir", the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are then God is evil".
The student became quiet before such an answer.
The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"
"Of course", replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"
"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?"
The students snickered at the young man's question. The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat.
Everybody 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 (- 460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature.
Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat.
The student continued. "Professor, does darkness exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does".
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."
Finally the young man asked the professor. "Sir, does evil exist?"
Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. 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 not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. 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 young man's name --- Albert Einstein.

[…] If God created the world and the world contains evil, then didn’t God create evil? If so, then isn’t God responsible for evil? So why blame me? If the product is broken, the fault lies with the manufacturer. […]
The eco-spirituality theorists fare no better. […] But then [we see] the same problem: if nature (via evolution) produced humans, and humans produced the ozone hole, then didn’t nature produce the ozone hole? If not, then there is some part of humans that is not part of nature […]http://www.timboucher.com/journal/2005/07/21/ken-wilber-critique-part-5/

Please, stop it. Those answers I asked can't be answered right now. Many scientists have been trying. There is still no answer. It is deep in our spirit and body.

i dont worry about it. in fact i think it speaks volumes. the fact that i dont speak that language does not belittle my intelligence. the fact that people choose to use it against me shows there ignorance. i bet when you fall out with your friends you lean into someones ear saying "whisper whisper whisper whisper... laugh". Losers.

a cartoon a while back, "stonesoup" (can't create a hyperlink because www.ucomics.com only holds their cartoons for 2 weeks.) noted how Einstein's wife had colaborated with Albert on his only innovative "fresh" work. After that most of his work was basically commenting on other scientists work or work that proved later to be completely false.
In the end EMC=2 could've very well been the work of Einstein's wife, not Albert himself.
Many great accomplishments of the past have been proved to be the discoveries of their spouses, not the actual husband scientist who took credit for the work.

well, going back to the original subject.. it seems to me that Mr Einestein who allegedly was the hero of this story has probably missed one little thing? that unlike heat and light which did not knowingly creat cold and darkness because they couldn't possibly think or have a will, god *deliberately* created satan (shaitan)! satan was not a by-product of god as in the case of heat or light, satan is a special design by god, same as humans, designed not just randomly but for a purpose. satan is accused of actively spreading evil, so evil is a product of the work of the devil not the absence of god who created it, unless of course god has created it to test our faith as is typically claimed, but then again it was god who created evil for a purpose of his own, and to believe in god is to believe that evil exists as well. you can not believe in god and deny that he created the devil can you!

so, no one wants to carry on a big debate about god and the devil, good and evil?
it's alright then, i love Freddie Mercury.. very disappointed at him but can't help to love him, he was too talented for me to hate or dislike. may god have mercy on his troubled soul.
