Overview:
The following story attempts to prove the existence of God. It allegedly
records a conversation between a humble, God-believing student and an arrogant
Atheistic university professor. The text appears in hundreds of Christian web
sites on the Internet. It is doubtful whether the conversation ever took place.
But one can be certain that if the story describes a real event, Albert
Einstein was not the university student involved.
It seems that the story had been circulating for some time before the
summer of 2004 when it was first attributed to Einstein. It is probable that
Einstein's name was chosen simply in order to lend credibility to the argument.
The story can be found in text form on many hundreds of locations on the
Internet. One remarkable portrayal is by photographer Macel Cohen and is in a
PowerPoint presentation. It combines the text with some incredibly beautiful
photographs. It is well worth taking the effort to download a free PowerPoint
viewer just to see the photographs. 5
