"Is there such thing as heat?"
Yes, "There's heat."
"Is there such a thing as cold?"
"Yes, there's cold too."
"No, there isn't."
You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, 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, otherwise we would be able to go colder than
458 - - You see,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, just the absence of it."
"Is there such a thing as darkness??
"That's a dumb question,. What is night if it isn't darkness? What are you getting at...?
"So you say there is such a thing as darkness?"
"Yes..."
"You're wrong again,people. 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 and give me a jar of it. Can you... give me a jar of darker darkness, people?"
"Would you mind telling us what your point is, young man?"
"Yes, My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with and so your conclusion must be in error...."
"The DR goes toxic. "Flawed...? How dare you...!"
"Sir, may I explain what I mean?"
The people is all ears.
"Explain... oh, explain..." The DR. makes an admirable effort to regain control.
"You are working on the premise of duality," the Muslim explains. That for example 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 cannot even explain a thought. It uses electricity and magnetism but has never seen, much less fully understood them. 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, merely the absence of it." The young man holds up a newspaper(utusan,hehe)..
"Here is one of the most disgusting tabloids this country hosts, DR. Is there such a thing as immorality?"
"Of course there is, now look..."
"Wrong again, sir. You see, immorality is merely the absence of morality. Is there such thing as injustice? No."
Injustice is the absence of justice. Is there such a thing as evil?" The Muslim pauses.
"Isn't evil the absence of good?"
The DR's face has turned an alarming colour. He is so angry he is temporarily speechless.
The man i called truth continues. "If there is evil in the world, DR, and we all agree there is, then God, if he exists, must be accomplishing a work through the agency of evil. What is that work, God is accomplishing? Islam tells us it is to see if each one of us will, choose good over evil."
The DR. bridles. "As a scientist, I don't vie this matter as having anything to do with any choice; as a realist, I absolutely do not recognize the concept of God or any other theological factor as being part of the world equation because God is not observable."
"I would have thought that the absence of God's moral code in this world is probably one of the most observable phenomena going," the Muslim replies.
"Newspapers make billions reporting it every week! Tell me,DR. Do you believe dat we evolved from a monkey?"
"If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, youngman, yes, of course I do."
"Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?"
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 now not a scientist, but a priest?"
"So you don't accept God's moral code to do what is righteous?"
"I believe in what is - that's science!"
"Ahh! SCIENCE!" the muslim face splits into a grin.
"Sir, you rightly state that science is the study of observed phenomena. Science too is a premise which is flawed..."
"SCIENCE IS FLAWED..?" the DR. splutters. The class is in uproar. The Muslim remains standing until the commotion has subsided.
"To continue the point you were making earlier to the others, may I give you an example of what I mean?"
"Is there anyone who has ever seen air, Oxygen, molecules, atoms, the PAK LAH's brain?"
Is there anyone here who has ever heard the PAK LAH's brain... felt the PAK LAH's brain, touched or smelt the PAK LAH's brain?"
No one appears to have done so. The Muslim shakes his head sadly. It appears no-one here has had any sensory perception of the PAKLAH's brain whatsoever. Well, according to the rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science, I DECLARE that the professor has no brain."
NOW IT IS EVERYONE'S CHANCE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ISLAM, ABOUT GOD, ABOUT THE PURPOSE OF Existence, creation & life, ABOUT THE PROPHETS OF GOD, & ABOUT HIS HOLY BOOKS, ESPECIALLY THE HOLY QUR'AAN. THEN IT IS YOUR CHOICE TO BECOME A MUSLIM, OR NOT. ALLAAH SAYS IN THE HOLY: "THERE IS NO COMPULSION IN RELIGION "
There is no compulsion in religion; truly the right way has become clearly distinct from error; And he who rejects false deities and believes in Allaah(The God) has grasped a firm handhold which will never break. and Allaah is ALL-Hearing, All-Knowing(256)
Allah is the Protecting Guardian of those who believe. He brings them out of the darkness into the light; As for those who disbelieve, their guardians are false deities. They bring them out of light into darkness...(257)" AL-QUR'AAN (CHAPTER # 2, VERSES #
256-257) They are much nicer and more sound in Arabic)
the question answered and that is what it's for.......
