The dialogue between the student and the teacher would be interesting,

• If the student is a genuine seeker, and at the moment is ambiguous about the existence of god, then the professor using irrefutable evidence can make the student’s decision turn his way
• If the student has already made up his mind and is in the discussion to test his faith, he is sure to have supporting evidence to confront the professor with
• The teacher in either case has to be convincing, a good listener and should accept the student’s point of view to provide an answer that is impartial and is based on facts and a well-founded belief system.

Either way, a great discussion is to follow!

This question brings to mind an interesting dialogue between an atheist professor and a very famous student. Read on to know more:

In 1902, a professor asked his student whether it was God who created everything that exists in the universe?
Student replied: Yes
He again asked:
What about evil?
Has God created evil also?
The student was silent...
Then the student requested that may he ask a question?
Professor allowed him to do so.
He asked: Does cold exist?
Professor said: Yes! Don't you feel the cold dear?
Student said: I'm sorry but you are wrong sir. Cold is a complete absence of heat.
There is no cold, it is only the absence of heat.
Student asked again:
Does darkness exist?
Professor Said: Yes!
Student replied: you are again wrong sir. There is no such thing like darkness. Its actually the absence of light.
Sir! We always study light & heat, but not cold & darkness.
Similarly, the evil does not exist.
Actually it is the absence of love, faith & true belief in God.
Do you know that student was... Vivekananda...!!!
