The ultimate aim of the professor was a to prove that God in fact doesn’t exist. b to amuse his students. c to prove that God created evil. 2. One of the students pointed out that a heat is the absence of cold. b cold is the absence of heat. c cold is given by God. 3. The same young student also claimed that a light is the same as heat b light is God c darkness is the absence of light. 4. Finally, the young student argued that a evil doesn’t exist. b God isn’t the Devil. c evil is the absence of light. Once a university professor decided to demonstrate an example of pure logic to his students. He intrigued them by asking whether God was evil and promised to give a positive answer and prove it. So he asked one of the students, «Did God create everything that exists?» The student bravely replied, «Yes, he did!» «God created everything?» the professor asked. «Yes, sir,» the student replied. Then the professor answered, «If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists. And, as we know, our works define who we are, thus God is evil.» The student became quiet and the professor was quite pleased with himself. He went even further claiming that this example easily proved that faith in God was a delusion. A young student raised his hand and said, «Can I ask you a question, professor?» «Of course,» replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, «Professor, does cold exist?» The professor looked a bit confused. «Of course it exists. Why do you ask?» The other students started to giggle at the young man’s stupidity. The student, however, went on, «In fact, sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is, in reality, the absence of heat. So we have created the word ‘cold’ to describe how we feel if we have no heat.» The audience fell silent and the student continued, «Professor, does darkness exist?» «Of course, it does,» the professor muttered. The student was ready for that. «I’m sorry to say you are wrong again, sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is only the absence of light. We can study light, but not darkness. You cannot measure it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light in it. Don’t you agree?» And then the young man returned to the original questions. «So, does evil exist, sir?» Totally confused, the professor didn’t want to back down, so he said, «How can anyone doubt it? We see it everywhere. Crime, violence, wars are the reality of our everyday life. Isn’t tht what we mean by evil?» However, the student had an answer for that. «In fact, evil does not exist, and certainly God didn’t create it. Evil is the word we found for the absence of God. It is just like darkness is the absence of light and cold is the absence of heat. Evil is what happens when man does not have God in his heart.» The professor left the room in silence. The young student’s name was Albert Einstein. *Цитирирование части задания со ссылкой на учебник производится исключительно в учебных целях для лучшего понимания разбора решения задания.
