In a debate between a philosophy professor and a student, the student is able to turn the professor's own arguments against the existence of God back on the professor. When the professor argues that there is no empirical evidence for God, the student points out that many concepts in science like darkness and cold are merely the absence of something and cannot be proven empirically either. The student then questions whether the professor can prove evolution, which he is teaching as fact. Finally, the student argues that no one has ever seen the professor's brain either, so by the professor's own standard of requiring empirical evidence, it cannot be proven the professor has a brain. The debate ends with the professor admitting that faith is what links both belief in God
The inductive method of teaching means that the teacher presents the rule through situations and sentences and does guided practice, then the learners do free practice. After that, the teacher deduces or elicits the rule form from the learners themselves by themselves.

Introduction: Members of the Sociology Department at a local college are brainstorming about the course offerings for next semester.
Steve: That was a great brainstorming session. And I really want us to now get down to the business of coming up with specific courses that we’re willing to eliminate and that we’re willing to add. We need to balance off the integrity of our department and our offerings with the needs to bring in more students and the need to develop a stronger curriculum.

Trevor: I’m not advocating

Trevor: I mean, you have a reading list or anything in mind?
Teacher: Yep, yep, entire reading list, of course starting with Dearborn’s book. It’s a phenomenal piece of work. It really builds upon the foundations of the institution and trying to remain on the edge, trying to lead the pack of [indiscernible] sociology. As everybody knows, our numbers have been down in a number of the courses. That’s why one of the reasons we’re here is to decide which courses we should possibly move away from or evolve into something else.
Ellen: Which is going to be a difficult task.
Teacher: Yes.
Trevor: But I think this is premature as far as that particular course goes. I mean, we’d have to think that through.
Ellen: Well, think about it because students from other concentrations might very well be attracted
Teacher: Exactly.
Ellen: to that concept.
Teacher: Exactly. Ellen knows what I’m talking about.
Trevor: And I appreciate and respect what, you know, your thinking is here. But, I mean, we don’t want enrollment or trying to bring in more majors to drive
Ellen: Try to be open to a new idea.
Steve: I’m going to ask everyone to sort of step back from what they might be feeling in the moment and consider the bigger picture. The bigger picture is we have to add and eliminate courses. We have to attract students. And we have to deepen our curriculum. So how are we going to do it?
Ellen: Attracting students, that is key.
Steve, I think we could do that by offering a course on the sociology of time.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.
2 Peter 3: Because some scriptures are hard to understand and some will force them to say things God never intended, Peter warns us to take care.

An atheist professor of philosophy speaks to his class on the problem science has with God, The
Almighty. He asks one of his new students to stand and...
Professor:
So you believe in God?
Student:
Absolutely, sir.
Professor:
Is God good?
Student:
Sure.
Professor:
2. 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 is silent.)
Professor:
You can't answer, can you? Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?
Student:
Yes.
Professor:
4. Professor:
Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything. Correct?
Student:
Yes.
Professor:
So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Professor:
Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things exist in the world,
don't they?
Student:
Yes, sir.
5. Professor:
So, who created them?
(Student has 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.
6. 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.
7. 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:
8. No sir. There isn't.
(The lecture theatre becomes 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 is pin-drop silence in the lecture theatre.)
Student:
What about darkness, Professor? Is there such a thing as darkness?
Professor:
Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
9. 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 it's
called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't. If it were 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. Now tell me, Professor.Do you teach your students that they evolved
from a monkey?
10. 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 shakes his head with a smile, beginning to realize where the argument is 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 is in uproar.)
Student:
Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the Professor's brain?
11. (The class breaks 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 is silent. The professor stares at the student, his face
unfathomable.)
Professor:
I guess you'll have to take them on faith, son.
Student:
That is it sir. The link between man & god is FAITH . That is all that keeps things moving &
alive.
