Do You Believe?

March 25, 2012 By LLH 3 Comments

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in a classroom. The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children. The teacher asked a little boy: Tommy do you see the tree outside?

One day a 6 year old girl was sitting in the classroom.

The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children.

The teacher asked a little boy:

Teacher: Tommy do you see the tree out side?

Tommy: Yes.

Teacher: Tommy, do you see the grass out side?

Tommy: Yes.

Teacher: Go out side 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.

The little girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions. Teacher agreed and she 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 (getting tired of the questions by 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 her brain?

Tommy: No

Little Girl: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she must not have one!

    Wow, on a happy life site? I’m a teacher. Who started this bs about all teachers being Godless? On the same vein, I say the pledge every morning, not because it is the LAW in 48 states, because it is important to me. If you can read this, you should thank a teacher.

    please i like this site don’t ruin it by being bible thumpers, everyone is entitled to there own belief right, so if that teacher believes in evolution that and thinks that a God didn’t create evolution itself even, that doesn’t make her brainless, that is hatred toward your fellow man to cut someone down because they don’t believe in a God as you do, If there is a God do you think that God would condone your hatred and mean spirited comments on that teacher, Evolution is real maybe a god created it maybe not only the people denying truth and evidence and facts and science would say otherwise and they would truly be the brainless… you of all sites should think before you insult people by bashing on evolution, you make it sound that someone who believes in the facts which is evolution which is proven science means that they probably don’t believe in a God or High power or Higher existence which in most cases are completely absurd, a person can know evolution is true and Believe that a higher power or a God was the one who created the atoms and molecules to behave in that way they can believe it was like a game of chess, if there is a God dont you think that that God would know (like the butterfly effect) where the butterfly needs to flap its wings to create the tsunami… being happy and living life happy should not have any strings attached to it like the need to believe in that which cannot be quantified, everyone deserve peace love and happiness and insulting people and calling them brainless is never acceptable smarten up, straighten up, that was a cruel statement and not an accurate portrayal of what someone who believes in evolution aka science believes and it should be removed from this site which encourages peace love understanding happiness and kindness… you should consider thinking before you speak and think about how your words and actions effect other people if there is a God, God would want you to be kind to all, and not call people brainless, that comment is the problem with humans, always so quick to judge people who don’t agree with them.

Popular Quotes

1. Life Quote: “Self-care isn’t always oils and baths. Sometimes it is seeing who you are and giving yourself permission to be. It is setting boundaries and saying no. Self-love is knowing your worth and not having guilt about doing you.” – Simi Fromen

2. Friendship Quote: Friendship is not about who you spend the most time with, it’s about who you have the best time with and who’s actually there for you.

3. Inspirational Quote: Sometimes you have to stop being scared and just go for it. Either it’ll work or it won’t. That’s life.

4. Forgiveness Quote: We all make mistakes. We have to simply remember to forgive ourselves and keep moving forward in order to progress. – Unknown

5. Forgiveness Quote: Forgiving someone doesn’t mean that their behavior was “OK.” What it does mean is that we’re ready to move on. To release the heavy weight. To shape our own life, on our terms, without any unnecessary burdens.

6. Relationship Quote: “Don’t chase. Know your worth and know that you deserve to at least be met half way. If they won’t match your effort, they don’t want to be in your life.”
