What do you believe?
Jenny sat listening to her third grade teacher explain about the theory of evolution and she ended by saying that since God does not exist that evolution is the only thing that makes sense. At which point, her little hand shot up.
How do you know that God doesnt exit?
The teacher smiled and suppressed a laugh. Let me explain. Tommy, she said calling on a boy nearby, can you look outside and tell me what you see.
Well, I see the sky, the tress, the birds.
Can you see God?
No.
See? her teacher said triumphantly. Because you cant see God, that means hes not real.
Feeling that solved things, she sat down. To her dismay, Jennys had shot up again. Yes?
Can I ask Tommy some questions? she asked.
The teacher allowed her. Tommy, do you see the sky?
Tommy looked outside. Yes.
Tommy, do you see the birds?
Yes. He said now becoming annoyed.
Tommy do you see the grass?
Yes. Now through gritted teeth.
Tommy, do you see our teachers brain?
No.
Well, then according to what we learned today, she must not have one!
Hebrews 11:1 says, Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
