Did God Create Evil?

One time, a professor of a famous university challenged his students with this question, "Did God create everything that exists?".

A student bravely replied, "Yes, He who created everything."

"God created everything?" Asked Professor once again.

"Yes, sir, everything," said the student.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil. Because evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, so we can assume that God is evil. "

The student became quiet and did not answer the professor's hypothetical. The professor was won and boasted that he had proven once again that religion is a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "Professor, may I ask you something?"

"Of course," replied the professor,

The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is that? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold? "Asked the other students snickered Professor.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is the absence of heat. Temperature - 43 degrees Celsius is the absence of heat at all. And all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. We create a cool word to describe the absence of heat. "

The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong, sir. Dark was also no. Dark is a state where there is no light. Light we can study, but not darkness. We can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. But, you can not measure darkness. How dark a certain space measured the amount of light in the room. The word dark man has created to describe the absence of light. "

Finally the young man asked, "Professor, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course, as has been said before. We see every day in the newspapers and TV. Many criminal cases and violence among men. Those cases are manifestations of evil. "

Against this the student replied, "Once again you are wrong, Prof., a crime that does not exist. Evil is the absence of God. 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 the absence of God's love in the hearts of men. As cold arising from the absence of heat and darkness arising from the absence of light. "

Professor was also silent.

And, the name of the student was Albert Einstein.
