TEACHER: Tommy, can you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Can you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
TEACHER: Step outside and look up at the sky.
TOMMY: Sure. (He returned shortly) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: Exactly. Since we can’t see God, he must not exist.
At this point, the little girl raised her hand and asked for permission to question Tommy, which the teacher granted.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, can you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Can you see her brain?
TOMMY: No.
LITTLE GIRL: According to today’s lesson, then, she must not have one!
