God Has Not Revealed Himself to Me, So He Must Not Exist
Is God's lack of direct revelation to humans a good proof that He does not exist?
A teacher is using the "scientific method" to teach the class about evolution...

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 doesn't exist.

A little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. The teacher agreed and the little girl questioned the boy.

LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the tree outside?
TOMMY: Yes.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy do you see the grass outside?
TOMMY: Yessssss (getting tired of the questions this time).
LITTLE GIRL: Did you see the sky?
TOMMY: Yessssss.
LITTLE GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
LITTLE GIRL: Do you see the teacher's mind?
TOMMY: No.
LITTLE GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she must not have one!

The little girl is a little girl. The teacher should know better. Physical existence is only one type of existence and by no means the only type. Little Girl hinted at one of the other types of existence. Some things exist mentally, such as the meaning in words, the value in money and the logic in numbers.
Funny joke though!

Makes sense to me,, I inferred the MSG to be, just because you can't see God does not mean he is not real. Their are alot of things that exist that we can not see with our eyes. Some would say you might need the sixth sense to see the living dead(assuming their is such). Likewise mabey a 7th sense to see God(also assuming their is such). Faith is the ground at witch most ppl stand becouse thier is no such thing as the 7th sense and we can not see. In math when thier exist varables you have to leave them as such and solve around them. We solve math problems with varbales by moving the varables around and keeping them equale to each other. The prove of Gods existance is just one big Algebra problem that is so big(and also undeifned) that no human can solve it with the whole canon of math.

Tommy, get off the web and leave that little girl alone. A table has 4 legs and a horse has 4 legs, therefore a table is a horse.

God exists in all things animate or not. One must only look at the complexities of the world around him and he will see.

its true that u havent seen God. if God doesnt exist, how did everything in this world come to be? the earth itself, us as human beings, the animals, the plants. it couldnt of happened by accident. its too complicated to happen by accident. u cant see ur brain either. does that mean u dont hav 1? u must hav faith that He exists, just like having faith that u hav a brain.

So you're saying since we can see our minds they don't exist?? Also, the example of the scientific method is a bit off.

I like the little girls questions best. but it is true that the mind can not see God because he is as his name says" I AM ".
