During a lesson on evolution, a teacher aimed to illustrate her point about the existence of God by engaging her students in a dialogue. She asked a boy named Tommy if he could see various things outside, such as the tree, the grass, and the sky. After confirming he could see them all, she asked him if he could see God, to which Tommy replied no. The teacher then declared that this was her point—that God doesn’t exist because he cannot be seen.
At that moment, a young girl in the classroom raised her hand and requested permission to ask Tommy some questions. The teacher agreed, and the girl began her inquiry. She repeated the teacher’s questions, asking Tommy if he could see the tree, the grass, and the sky, to which Tommy replied affirmatively, albeit a bit impatiently.
Finally, the girl asked, “Tommy, do you see the teacher?” He answered yes. Then she posed a challenging question: “Do you see her brain?” Tommy replied no. The girl concluded, “Then, based on what we learned in school today… she must not have one!”
The room erupted in laughter, and it was a perfect moment that showcased the wisdom of a child, effectively turning the teacher’s argument back on her.
