The other day an acquaintance emailed me this link to an anecdote in which a college student – supposedly Einstein – “pwns” his atheist professor. Now I like a good story about an atheist getting his butt kicked in a debate as much as the next True Christian™, but to claim this as a victory for Christ is just plain dishonest, a breach of the ninth commandment. Yet gullible pseudo-Christians continue to perpetuate this urban myth, which I believe Satan is using to undermine True Christianity™. Let’s examine the story.
The first thing that struck me as odd is that this ostensibly Christian student is studying at a secular university under an atheist professor. After reading these opening lines, alarm bells immediately started going off in my mind.
So far so good.
This part seemed a bit off to me. How could a True Christian™ man be stumped by the question of unanswered prayer? There are many different approaches he could have taken. He could have told him God doesn’t hear the prayers of sinners, for instance.
So the student is stumped by questions that any competent True Christian™ man could answer off the cuff. He then resorts to a tired old fluffy-bunny argument. Just as cold is the absence of heat and darkness is the absence of light, so death is the absence of life and evil is the absence of good. This is simply unbiblical.
Cold exists. I found 17 references to cold in the Bible, and the Bible wouldn’t tell us something existed if it didn’t really exist. We will always have cold as long as the earth exists.
Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Cold is as real as heat and summer and winter and day and night. If cold doesn’t exist, how could it be in danger of ceasing? And how could it move from one place to another? Why in Job is it compared to a whirlwind, something we can see? Cold comes from the breath of God, and we know God exists.
Job 37:9-10 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
God creates both cold and heat by the power of His word, just as He made everything at Creation.
Ps 147:15-18
15 He sendeth forth his commandment [upon] earth: his word runneth very swiftly.
16 He giveth snow like wool: he scattereth the hoarfrost like ashes.
17 He casteth forth his ice like morsels: who can stand before his cold?
18 He sendeth out his word, and melteth them: he causeth his wind to blow, [and] the waters flow.
Who would be unable to stand before something that doesn’t exist? The rest of the student’s argument can be debunked with one verse. Both darkness and evil exist and were created by God.
Is 45:7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these [things].
It’s heartening to see that after years of college education, this student had a thorough understanding of evolution yet still wasn’t swayed by it. So many students lose their faith in college.
Faith does not keep things alive and moving. Jesus does.
Heb 1:1-3 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days spoken unto us by [his] Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; Who being the brightness of [his] glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Jesus is the link between man and God.
1 Tim 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
The student seems to be under the misguided impression that the center of the mind is the brain, but this is unscriptural. Thinking is done in the heart.
Prov 23:7a For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he:
It looks like he is already being corrupted by his secular education. Anyway, his argument is unsound. No one can see God because He is invisible.
Col 1:15 [Christ] is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
But the brain is visible. For example, if this professor allows his corpse to be desecrated after he dies by donating his body to science, then students in theory would be able to dissect him and would in all likelihood find a brain inside his head.
This story is very inconsistent. It’s the fluffy-bunny “Christians” who are always telling us we should be more respectful, but this student was being very disrespectful to his professor towards the end by humiliating him like that, so he was being a hypocrite.
No, it wasn’t. Einstein was a God-hating, Christ-killing joo. 
This story is so internally inconsistent, unrealistic and unbiblical that is obviously a fake. I can’t fathom how fluffy-bunny Christians are unable to see that. Just goes to show how gullible they are. They’ll believe whatever they want to believe.
Professor: You are a Christian, aren’t you, son?
Student: Yes, sir.
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, you believe in GOD?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is GOD good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Professor: Is GOD good?
Student: Sure.
Professor: Is GOD all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Professor: My brother died of cancer even though he prayed to GOD to heal him. Most of us would attempt to help others who are ill. But GOD didn’t. How is this GOD good then? Hmm?
(Student was silent.)
(Student was silent.)
This part seemed a bit off to me. How could a True Christian™ man be stumped by the question of unanswered prayer? There are many different approaches he could have taken. He could have told him God doesn’t hear the prayers of sinners, for instance.
Professor: You can’t answer, can you? Let’s start again, young fella. Is GOD good?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does satan come from?
Student: From … GOD …
Professor: That’s right. Tell me son, is there evil in this world?
Student: Yes.
Professor: Evil is everywhere, isn’t it? And GOD did make everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Professor: So who created evil?
(Student did not answer.)
Professor: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world, don’t they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Professor: So, who created them?
(Student had no answer.)
Professor: Science says you have 5 Senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Tell me, son, have you ever seen GOD?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Tell us if you have ever heard your GOD?
Student: No, sir.
Professor: Have you ever felt your GOD, tasted your GOD, smelt your GOD? Have you ever had any sensory perception of GOD for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I’m afraid I haven’t.
Professor: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Professor: According to Empirical, Testable, Demonstrable Protocol, Science says your GOD doesn’t exist. What do you say to that, son?
Student: Nothing. I only have my faith.
Professor: Yes, faith. And that is the problem Science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Professor: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Professor: Yes.
Student: No, sir. There isn’t.
(The lecture theater became very quiet with this turn of events.)
Student: Sir, you can have lots of heat, even more heat, superheat, 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. Cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.
(There was pin-drop silence in the lecture theater.)
Student: What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor: Yes. What is night if there isn’t darkness?
Student: You’re wrong again, sir. Darkness 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 its called darkness, isn’t it? In reality, darkness isn’t. If it is, well you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn’t you?
Professor: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise is flawed.
Professor: Flawed? Can you explain how?
Student: Sir, you are working on the premise of duality. You argue there is life and then there is 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.
Student: Yes.
Professor: Is satan good?
Student: No.
Professor: Where does satan come from?
Student: From … GOD …

Student: Now tell me, Professor, do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?
It’s heartening to see that after years of college education, this student had a thorough understanding of evolution yet still wasn’t swayed by it. So many students lose their faith in college.
Professor: If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, yes, of course, I do.
Student: Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?
(The Professor shook his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument was going.)
Student: 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 not a scientist but a preacher?
(The class was in uproar.)
Student: Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor’s brain?
(The class broke out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the Professor’s brain, felt it, touched or smelt it? 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, sir. With all due respect, sir, how do we then trust your lectures, sir?
(The room was silent. The Professor stared at the student, his face unfathomable.)
Professor: I guess you’ll have to take them on faith, son.
Student: That is it sir … Exactly! The link between man & GOD is FAITH. That is all that keeps things alive and moving.

By the way, that student was EINSTEIN.
