Knock Down

A college professor, an avowed Atheist, was teaching his class. He shocked
most of his students when he flatly stated he was going to prove there is
no God. Addressing the ceiling he shouted: "God, if you are real, I want
you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you 15 minutes!"

The lecture room fell silent. You could have heard a pin fall.

Ten minutes went by. Again he taunted God, saying, "Here I am, God. I'm
still waiting."

His count-down got to the last couple of minutes when a Marine, just
released from active duty and newly registered in the class, walked up to
the professor, hit him full force in the face and sent him flailing from
his lofty platform.

The students were shocked and a little scared. But the young Marine took a
seat in the front row and sat silent. The class also fell silent...waiting.

Eventually, the professor came to, quite shaken. He looked at the young
Marine in the front row. When the professor regained his senses enough to
speak he asked: "What's the matter with you? Why did you do that?"

"God was busy. He sent me."

Life is good.

Once again the fundamentalists have proved their point. At their own bidding, they are the hand of god.
