Brain, memory and GOD
When I was a student I always wondered how the hell girls in my class who can't tell the resistence of a resistor from its color code can score much higher marks than me, who can draw a complete circuit. Why? This is a known fact in my circle and every one agrees to this. No personal attack. This is a fact. Girls can memorise things. How? How do you identify a chair? Why do I forget my own name and that too for a small interval of time? What is a ghost and GOD? All this is to do with our brain. Some one told you a chair has four legs, a seat and a back. You call any object that MATCHES with this decription as a chair. If no one in your life tells you about a chair, you will not be able to identify a chair. When some one, your parents, elders and teachers teach you they are simply KEYING in a data. Kelvin describes it as, you memory is being LOADED with all this information or being corrupted with ideas. This is the reason you can not undrstand Chinese or Japanese becouse your memory can not match it with all the patterns it has stored. But how do people memorise things. Like girls in my class. This is done by spaced repetition. I have seen many studious people to read and recite text books. They used to COVER syllabus twice in a semester. Amazing. Me never did once in whole year. All the information which was stored in my brain was during my class room sessions. I had a quality in my student life, I never bunked my classes. I paid complte attention to my teacher. It was my interest. I had gone against popular belief of studying mechanical engineering. I have observed one thing. If a student pays full attention in classroom, he or she can score good marks. Me and my frends are example of this. Again to topic, this spaced repetition stored the information like you write some thing on a piece of paper and put it in your pocket. This memory is RETRIEVED by your brain as and when required. Like when you see a chair or when you see a numerical based on Fourier series. Now in this is interesting, you can identify a chair easily. But you need to USE intelligence to solve Fourier Series. Here comes into effect what we call intelligence. I have been working for The Natural History Museum, Chandigarh. I have seen many prehistoric tools or stone age tools. If you look at these tools you will say they are just sharp edged stons. But for the one who made these tools they were more than a Super Computer. The intelligence of making and using these tools have been passed on to other generations. Thats why only homosepians progressed. Remember animals also have memory and can process it. A common pet is an example. Now what is GOD? I remeber a quote, "If there is GOD then there is devil." But we seldom worship devil. Why? Lets talk about subconcious. I have seen many things which subconcious brain can do and you will call them miracle. Every year Hindustan Times Chandigarh edition will publish pictures with guys wearing fullngth coats and girls accompnying them with BACKLESS BLOUSES or TOPS on New Year Eve. These girls show off their skin in 2-4 degree celsius. This is not enough. I have seen some Budhist Monks doing strange kind of medition in which they will cover their body with wet sheets and will sit in open space, on a mountain covered with snow. And Naga Sadhus. Scores of Naga Sadhus travel to Amarnath Cave. Naga Sadhus wear nothing. Nothing at all. How do they do this? Girls, Budhist Monks and Naga Sadhus tell their subconcius, there is no winter. And their body is moulded in the same way. This simply implies that you can win over yourself. If you can win over your weakness you can do wonders. I suffer from a cosmetic desease. I havw white spots on my face. As any parent have done my parents tried every medicine. I too followed some route. Allopathic. Homoeopathic. Ayurvadic. But after 2 years of regular course I was away from my home and stopped taking medicine. I found friends. They never let me down and never let me feel that I have a spot on myface. I almost forgot that I look ugly. More than 9 years have passed that I touched any medicine. I am recovering. I mention this thing to myself daily. Dude you are smart guy. I know I am not. I am recovering. The spot have reduced a lot. Its not miracle. My dad improved his eye sight. He calls it self confidence. It is the right term. This selfconfidenc also brings one bad thing. Over confidence. This leads to a thought, I am the GOD or I am above GOD. Now according to conventional belief this though is evil. This has been LOADED in to our memory. The GOD is another thought that has been created to counter this evil. And again it has been LOADED or is being LOADED in to our brains daily. No one has ever seen devil or GOD. But people believe in both of them. GOD has been loaded in to our brain by those who knew that over confidence will create a problem in human beings. Some thing is required that is more powerful than any human. GOD is that thought. Another english quote, "GOD is mean for man's convenience." Bottom lines. There is no GOD. You can be as happy as you can think of. Good memory doesnt implie that you are a genius. Keep smiling. Smiling is natural to all humans. This wasnt LOADED in our brain.

Evil does not exist
DID GOD CREATE EVERYTHING THAT EXISTS?
The professor of a university once challenged his students with this question.
'Did God create everything that exists?'
A student answered bravely, 'Yes, He did'.
The professor then asked, 'If God created everything, then He created evil. Since evil exists (as noticed by our own actions), so God is evil. The student could not respond to that statement causing the professor to conclude that he had 'proved' that the belief in God was a fairy tale, and therefore worthless.
Another student raised his hand and asked the professor, 'May I pose a question?'
'Of course', answered the professor.
The young student stood up and asked, 'Professor does cold exist?'
The professor answered, 'What kind of question is that? Of course cold exists... haven't you ever been cold?'
The young student answered, 'In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold, is in fact the absence of heat. Anything is able to be studied as long as it transmits energy (heat). Absolute Zero is the total absence of heat, but cold does not exist. What we have done is to create a term to describe how we feel if we don't have body heat or we are not hot.'
'And, does darkness exist?', he continued. The professor answered, 'Of course'.
This time the student responded, 'Again you're wrong, sir. Darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in fact simply the absence of light. Light can be studied, darkness can not. Darkness cannot be broken down. A simple ray of light tears the darkness and illuminates the surface where the light beam finishes. Dark is a term that we humans have created to describe what happens when there's lack of light.'
Finally, the student asked the professor, 'Sir, does evil exist?'
The professor replied, 'Of course it exists, as I mentioned at the beginning, we see violations, crimes and violence anywhere in the world, and those things are evil.'
The student responded, 'Sir, evil does not exist. Just as in the previous cases, evil is a term which man has created to describe the result of the absence of God's presence in the hearts of man.'
After this, the professor bowed down his head, and did not answer back.
The young man's name was ALBERT EINSTEIN.
that's a good one dude :)
You changed the blog title !!!!
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.....
Prof: So you believe in God?
Student: Absolutely, sir.
Prof: Is God good?
Student: Sure.
Prof: Is God all-powerful?
Student: Yes.
Prof: 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.)
Prof: You can't answer, can you? Let's start again,
young fella. Is God good?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Is Satan good?
Student: No.
Prof: Where does Satan come from?
Student: From...God...
Prof: That's right. Tell me son, is there evil in this
world?
Student: Yes.
Prof: Evil is everywhere, isn't it? And God did make
everything. Correct?
Student: Yes.
Prof: So who created evil?
(Student does not answer.)
Prof: Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness?
All these terrible things exist in the world, don't
they?
Student: Yes, sir.
Prof: So, who created them?
(Student has no answer.)
Prof: 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.
Prof: Tell us if you have ever heard your God?
Student: No, sir.
Prof: Have you ever felt your God, tasted your God,
and smelled your God? Have you ever had any sensory
perception of God for that matter?
Student: No, sir. I'm afraid I haven't.
Prof: Yet you still believe in Him?
Student: Yes.
Prof: 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.
Prof: Yes, Faith. And that is the problem science has.
Student: Professor, is there such a thing as heat?
Prof: Yes.
Student: And is there such a thing as cold?
Prof: Yes.
Student: 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?
Prof: Yes. What is night if there isn't darkness?
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 its
called darkness, isn't it? In reality, darkness isn't.
If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker,
wouldn't you?
Prof: So what is the point you are making, young man?
Student: Sir, my point is your philosophical premise
is flawed.
Prof: 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?
Prof: 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 endeavour, are you not teaching
your opinion, sir?
The debate goes as follows:
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?
The class breaks out into laughter.)
Student: Is there anyone here who has ever heard the
Professor's brain, felt it, touched or smelled 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.)
Prof: 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.
That young man was ALBERT EINSTEIN
