Do You See....

    One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in the classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution¹ to the children. The teacher asked a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree outside?
    Tommy: Yes.
    Teacher: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?
    Tommy: Yes.
    Teacher: Go outside and look up and see if you can see the sky.
    Tommy: OK. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
    Teacher: Did you see God?
    Tommy: No.
    Teacher: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. He doesn't exist.
    A little girl spoke² up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
    Tommy: Yes.
    Little girl: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
