Does evil exist?
One day a professor at a university decided to test his pupils. He asked: "Did God create everything that exists?"
A student answered bravely "Yes he did".
"Everything? " asked the teacher.
"Yes, everything" was the student's answer.
"In this case, God also created evil. Correct? Because evil exists," said the teacher....
To that, the student had no answer, and remained silent. The teacher was delighted at the opportunity to prove that faith was only a myth.
Suddenly, another studen raised his hand, and asked: "May I
ask you a question, professor?"
"Of course" was the answer.
-"Does cold exist?"
"Of course," answered the professor, "Didn't you
ever feel cold?
-"Actually, sir, cold does not exist. According to the studies of
physics, cold is the total and complete absence of heat. We created the term cold to explain the lack of heat".
-"And darkness?" continued the student
"It exists" answered the professor.
-"Again, you're wrong", said the student"darkness is the total
absence of light. You can study light and brightness, but not
darkness The "Prism of Nichols "shows the variety of different
colours in which light can be decomposed according to the longitude of the waves. Darkness is the term we created to explain the total absence of light.
"And finally", the student asked, "Evil, sir, does evil exist?
God did not create evil. Evil is the absence of God in people's hearts; it is the absence of love, humanity and faith. Love
and faith are like heat and light, they exist, their absence leads
to evil".
Now it was the professor's time to remain silent. The name of thestudent was " Albert Einsetein ".
