for the ignorant people that doesnt think that God exists just because you cant see him.?

Question

One day an 8 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. 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 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 just 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: Yessssss!
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss!
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 today in school, she must not have one!

"FOR WE WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT" 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7

Answer 1

Faith not sight! Good one.

Answer 2

You're thoroughly confused about why people don't believe in god. I believe in plenty of things that I can't see, because there is evidence that they exist. There is no evidence for the existence of a god. Check out the first reference to see how even children are able to make this distinction.

The teacher in your story represents what is called a "strawman", and the story is a "strawman argument". You've set up a stupid argument against the existence of god, and then easily knocked it down, but apparently failed to recognize that the teacher's argument has nothing in common with the real reasons that people do not believe in gods.

If there really were a person who thought that his inability to see something demonstrated that thing's nonexistence, that person would be "ignorant", as you put it. But in fact the ignorance revealed by the story is that of the story's rather narrow-minded author.

Answer 3

It's cute, but sorry.. Stupid.

You called me ignorant because I don't believe in God, because I don't see him.

I'm agnostic, therefore I believe there's a possibility he could exist, but as of right now I just don't see it.

Let him bless me with money to go to school and a better job and I'll go to church every day!

My friend is in jail right now for something he didn't do. He got accused of racing and was forced to a plea bargain because otherwise he would have said not guilty and fought against 5 felonies. This person is straight-edge, and has never done anything wrong in his life. He could be pope if he wanted. Tell what justice God has in his plan for people like that? He has lost his job, lost his house, and his mother is living all by herself after having a stroke because he's in jail now.

How about this: Until I see some good from your God, take him and shove him up your a*se.

Answer 4

That was just silly. Are you really basing your believe in god on and 8 year old boy? What if he responded, "yes, get me a cat scan and I can see her brain." Then what would you say?
What about a quark? That would have been a better item. We know they exist, we have faith that they exist, but we cannot see them. We cannot replicate them, but we know they are there. How do we know? Because we can submit the scientific method and accept they hypothesis that they are there.
You cannot put God to the scientific method, it is impossible to either accept, or null the hypothesis of god. It then cannot be really discussed in a real manner, because we have different methods of proving items. I rely on a method that is commonly accepted through out scientist in the world. You rely on a method that is read from a book, written 20 to 300 years after his the subjects life, and makes you not fear death so much. So in your mind, is that a real comparison?
Besides, your use of the word ignorant is wrong.

Answer 5

Blah blah blah...
The reason (and I'll use small words so as not to give you a headache) that we refute the existence of god or any other mythical creature like fairies and leprechauns, is that there is NO proof of thier existence. None.
You ascribe all kinds of fantastic attributes to it yet no such events ever take place outside of a book of outdated bronze-age jewish myths.
Show me ONE credible shred of evidence and I might re-think my position. Keep in mind though that the next person who provides said proof will be the first, in history, to do so.

Answer 6

So, because someone invents some asinine equivocating story about the inability to see god and brains, therefor god exists?Perhaps the real moral of the story is that not everyone has a brain.

You gonna eat all that sheep kibble?

Answer 7

I like the metaphor behind what you said. Although I think there are many reasons people are Atheist, aside from not being able to "see God." Ignorance is a lack of knowledge, not faith. Faith is what makes people believe in God. Therefore, it isn't fair to call it ignorance.

Answer 8

I'll bite.

In order for the teacher to stand before the class, the teacher must have a brain.

In order for the grass to be present, and the sky to be present, a deity does not have to exist.

Answer 9

Yeah but if u this sounds gross but cut the teachers head open u would see her brain. I'm an agnostic I'm not sure if God exists or not but I agree just coz u can't see something doesn't mean it's not there. Nut usually most things u can tell there there by feelings, smell, temperatures etc. But I don't real get that feeling with God. Sometimes I think maybe they're is something helping me but dunno if that's me or God.

Answer 10

if we were to use an MRI we could see her brain
can the same be said of God?
and no teacher would ever teach that to students, that goes against the first ammendmant, and it has nothing to do with evolution. God could have created through evolution. any real teacher that wanted to teach evolution would have used some of the various facts that support it such as this http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/faq-speciation.html

Answer 11

You're the ignorant one. You assume that you are the 'correct' one, and that everyone else is stupid if they don't believe what you do. That it the EPITOME of ignorance. Get it in your brain that not everyone believes what you do, and that's okay. That's diversity, and you should accept and appreciate that. I'm an Athiest,you don't see me shoving my opinions in your face and calling you 'ignorant' because you don't believe what I do...

Please, grow up, learn to appreciate diversity of opinion, and maybe people will take you more seriously.
