Did God Create Evil?
One day, a professor of a university decided to defy 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
answer of the student.
“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 one
more time that faith was only a myth.
Suddenly, another student 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. “Did you never feel
cold?”
“Actually, sir, cold does not exist. According to studies in
physics, cold is the total and complete absence of heat. An object can only be
studied if it has and transmits energy and it is the heat of an object that
transmits its energy. Without heat, the objects are inert, incapable to react.
But cold does not exist. We created the term cold to explain the lack of
heat.
“And darkness?”, continues the student.
“IT exists”, replied the professor.
“Again you’re wrong sir, 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 colors in which the 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, “And evil, sir, does evil
exists? 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 turn to remain silent.
It is said that the name of the student was Albert Einstein.
