Einstein-God argument-True or false?

This has been discussed all over the internet...so I thought it
wouldn't be a bad idea if we discuss it in our forum:
Does evil exist?
The university professor challenged his students with this
question. Did God create everything that exists? A student
bravely replied, "Yes, he did!"
"God created everything? The professor asked.
"Yes sir", the student replied.
The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God
created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal
that ourworks define who we are then God is evil". The student
became quiet before such an answer. The professor was quite
pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had
proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.
Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a
question professor?"
"Of course", replied the professor.
The student stood up and asked,"Professor, does cold exist?"
"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you
never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's
question.
The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist.
According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in
reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible
to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes
a body ormatter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460
degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes
inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does
not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if
we have no heat."
The student continued,"Professor, does darkness exist?"
The professor responded, "Of course it does."
The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness
does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of
light. Light we can study, but not darkness. Infact we can use
Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study
the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure
darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of
darkness and illuminate it. 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 todescribe 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 as I have
already said. We see it every day. Itis in the daily example of
man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and
violence everywhere in the world. 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 and cold, 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.
The young man's name ¡ª Albert Einstein.
While i admire the creativity of whoever wrote this, I can't
believe that 'student' was Einstein.
Do you agree with me?
Have your say!
