Parable of Light, Baby, Barber & Twins (Part 1)

Today was one of the better services i heard for ages. Pastor sprinkled his sermon with 4 really good parables. They are memorable, succint and powerful.

(#1:Parable of Light ps: this was an real life dialogue which my pastor researched and found from the net)

A professor asked his students, "Did God create everything that exists?" A student replied yes. The professor then deduced, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, & because our works define who we are then God is evil." The student was speechless.

Another student asked "Prof, does darkness exist?" Professor responded, "Of course". The student retorted, "You are wrong sir, darkness does not exist. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. We can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. But you cannot measure darkness. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor. "Sir, does evil exist?". Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course. We see it daily. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love, that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.
