Teacher Tells Student That God Is Not Real – Little Girl Has Perfect Response

Have you ever heard the expression, out of the mouth of babes? It is often used to describe how children are able to explain something in their innocence that adults are not able to understand. Sometimes, it is just a matter of not being able to see the forest through the trees. When you are too close to a situation, the lines tend to get blurred but for a child, they see through all the minutia, and in many cases, they see a truth that is not available to those who are older.

This became obvious when a six-year-old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was discussing evolution with the children, but it just didn’t quite sit right with her. The discussion is something that the Internet has fallen in love with. Not only does it show the innocence of a young girl, it shows that children can be quite intelligent, and as adults, we could all learn a thing or two sometimes.

The teacher asked a little boy:

TEACHER: 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: Okay. (He returned a minute 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 spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl asked the boy:

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?

TOMMY: Yes.

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the grass outside?

TOMMY: Yesssssssss (getting tired of the questions by this time).

LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?

TOMMY: Yessssssssss.

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?

TOMMY: Yes.

LITTLE GIRL: Do you see her brain?

TOMMY: No.

LITTLE GIRL: Then, according to what we were taught in the school today…she must not have one!!
