Well guys, I dont know how far this is true - there are no names or dates to

collaborate the story - but I find it very easy to believe it happenned! - Aish.

 

A few years ago at USC. There was a professor of philosophy

there who was a deeply committed atheist. His primary goal for one

required class was to spend the entire semester attempting to prove

that God couldn't exist.

 

His students were always afraid to argue with him because of his

impeccable logic. for twenty years, he had taught this class and

no one had ever had the courage to go against him. Sure, some had

argued in class at times, but no one had ever really gone against him

because of his reputation.

 

At the end of every semester on the last day, he would say to his Class of 300

students, " If there is anyone here who still believes in Jesus, stand up! " In

twenty years, no one had ever stood up. They knew what he was going to do next.

He would say, " Because anyone who believes in God is a fool. If God existed, he

could stop this piece of chalk from hitting the ground and breaking. Such a

simple task to prove that He is God, and yet He can't do it. " And every year,

he would drop the chalk onto the tile floor of the classroom and it would

shatter into a hundred pieces.

 

All of the students would do nothing but stop and stare. Most of the

students thought that God couldn't exist. Certainly, a number of

Christians had slipped through, but for 20 years, they had been too

afraid to stand up.

 

Well, a few years ago there was a freshman who happened to enroll. He

was a Christian, and had heard the stories about his professor. He was

required to take the class for his major, and he was afraid. But for three

Months that semester, he prayed every morning that he would have the courage to

stand up no matter what the professor said, or what the class thought. Nothing

they said could ever shatter his faith...he hoped.

 

Finally, the day came. The professor said, " If there is anyone here who Still

believes in God, stand up! " The professor and the class of 300 people looked at

him, shocked, as he stood up at the back of the classroom.

 

The professor shouted, " You FOOL!!! If God existed, he would keep this

Piece of chalk from breaking when it hit the ground! " He proceeded to drop the

chalk, but as he did, it slipped out of his fingers, off his shirt cuff, onto

the pleat of his pants, down his leg, and off his shoe. As it hit the ground,

it simply rolled away unbroken.

 

The professor's jaw dropped as he stared at the chalk. He looked up at the young

man, and then ran out of the lecture hall. The young man who had stood,

proceeded to walk to the front of the room and shared his faith in Jesus for the

next half hour. 300 students stayed and listened as he told of God's love for

them and of His power through Jesus.
