Makes Me Wonder

The video “This Will Keep You Thinking” tells a story about a professor of philosophy who was a deeply committed atheist and a young man who changed many peoples lifes. The teacher’s goal was to prove there is not a God. Some kids tried arguing with him but most were afraid because of his reputation.
At the end of every semester on the very last day, he would say to his students, “If there is anyone who still believes in Jesus please stand up”. In twenty years nobody had ever stood up. Then he would say, “Because anyone who believes in god is a fool. If god existed, he could stop this chalk from hitting the ground and breaking. Such a simple task to prove that he is God, and yet he can’t do it”. Every year he would drop that piece of chalk and it would break. Most of the students thought god certainly couldn’t exist.
Well a couple of years ago a freshman enrolled. He was a Christian and heard stories of the teacher. When he found out he was required to take his class for his major he was scared. For the semester he prayed every morning that he would stand up no matter what the teacher said. When the day came the professor said “If there is anyone who believes in god standup”. Everyone just looked at him shocked. Then the professor shouted “You fool!” “If god existed, he could stop this chalk from hitting the ground and breaking”.
He went to go drop the chalk, but when he did’ it slipped out of his fingers and just rolled down his body and it rolled on to the ground and it didn’t break. He looked at the student and just ran out the lecture hallway. The student walked in front of the class and shared his faith in Christ for the next half hour. All the students stayed and listened to the young man and how he stayed with his faith.
This story really touched me. I am a Christian but this story made me want to share the word. I just wonder what the teacher did after that. Did he start believing in God? Did he keep on making kids not believe? Could this experience have changed his whole philosophy? I really don’t get how after reading this you couldn't really believe in a god. Its funny how people don’t believe in god but everyone wants to go to heaven. I just ask to everyone out there, how can you not believe in god? All it took was one kid standing up for god for the chalk not to break. You can walk away with this story and think it was just a coincidence or you can see that it was destiny. That maybe it only takes one to show that there is at least a higher power.
