He also added...
He also added: “the sole resource of knowledge is the five senses; as these senses cannot prove the existence of God, then there is no God.” Thereby, I replied: “The senses are responsible for receiving primary data and transfer it to the brain and have it collected, combined and analyzed in order to reach secondary results. Many things are not conceivable by the senses such as electricity and magnetic waves. Even the brain is not detectable by senses.
We know that all scientific discoveries are based upon the brain’s analyses of the data and arrive at to get the results which the senses deliver.” but he refused and said: “I shall not believe in something that my eyes cannot see overtly.” After the student had finished his talk, I noticed that he was weak in his debate with the atheist student. He invited me to their room in order to engage his colleague in another turn of over discussion. I didn’t find it appropriate to have that meeting.
But I feared the influence of that atheist on those believers at the residence. Also, he might think that his evidence cannot be defeated! This might result in weakening those people with shaken faith. Thus I decided to go. There, I found the atheist and we had a discussion. He was challenging... I maneuvered around in a practical way but he was not rational. He insisted that anything cannot be seen is not a fact.
At that moment I found it necessary to use another method in manipulating the discussion. So I wittingly asked him: “Would you please tell me, who is your father?” He replied “My father? My father’s name is...” Then I said “How can you prove that he’s your father? Did you see with your own eyes that...?” I wish you were there to see how he stuttered trying to answer in front of his colleagues. S Good debate! But it was offending, Dad!
F Should I respect him, while he didn’t respect God or even respect his mind? S No... No... Well-done Dad! According to his theory, his mind doesn’t exist because his mind is not visible... Anyway it was a good discussion! F This is called contradiction method which says “ Make them abide whatever they are abiding by willingly.” It’s an easy-to-apply principle and proven to achieve good results.
This rule can be applied to defeat many ill- supported ideas and put of disarray feeble minded people with weak reason. S Would you please give me an example? F For instance, skepticism... Its followers question everything and they believe that there are no facts.
