Sure. There's nothing wrong with that, and really I'm not against telling off the professor. I just dont like people physically hurting others for disagreeing with them.

No! It would only work if the Navy SEAL admitted that violence is wrong and there there is no god. /sarcasmOriginally Posted by Sasquatch
Given that he is a professor*, be probably knows more than someone who can't come up with any rational rebuttal and whose only way to "prove him wrong" would be violence.Originally Posted by squareSOFT
*-plus he doesn't have a belief in something that is without proof, so he gets bonus points
The professor believes that there is no god. There's proof that there is no god?Originally Posted by LH
As I've said countless times before, there is no "proof" of the existence or non-existence of a higher power. This professor believed that there is no god, and that's what his faith goes toward. There would be no way to prove somebody this arrogant wrong without "proof" of the existence of God, which doesn't exist, so the SEAL handled it in a more practical manner. The professor says, "if there's a god, He'll knock me off this platform", and the SEAL thinks, "I believe in God, and the only way to make the point that it's ridiculous to say 'there is no god' is for him to be knocked off that platform."
Id have enjoyed the whole thing a lot more if he left out the part about god being too busy. Just knocking him off and taking his seat would have worked fine. Nice story though. I guess god exists as long as you believe in him.
Two things Navy SEALS are always taught:
1. Keep your priorities in order
2. Know when to act without hesitation
A college professor, an avowed atheist and active in the ACLU, was teaching his class. He shocked several of his students when he flatly stated that for once and for all he was going to prove there was no God.
Addressing the ceiling he shouted:
"GOD, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly 15 minutes!!!!!"
The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop. Ten minutes went by.
"I'm waiting God, if you're real knock me off this platform!!!!"
Again after 5 minutes, the professor taunted God saying,
"Here I am, God!!! I'm still waiting!!!"
His count down got down to the last couple of minutes when a SEAL, just
released from the Navy after serving in Afghanistan and Iraq and newly
registered in the class, walked up to the Professor. The SEAL hit him full
force in the face, and sent the Professor tumbling from his lofty platform.
The Professor was out cold!! The students were stunned and shocked. They
began to babble in confusion. The SEAL nonchalantly took his seat in the
front row and sat silent. The class looked at him! and fell silent....
waiting. Eventually, the professor came to and was noticeably shaken. He
looked at the SEAL in the front row. When the professor regained his senses and could speak he asked:
"What is the matter with you?! Why did you do that!?"
"God was really busy protecting America's soldiers, who are protecting your right to say stupid stuff like that and act like an idiot!!! So he sent me!!"
AMEN!
Conclusive proof there is no god.
