The teacher was going to explain evolution to the children.
The teacher asked a 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: Okay. (He returned a few minutes later) Yes, I saw the sky.
TEACHER: Did you see God up there?
TOMMY: No.
TEACHER: That's my point. We can't see God because he isn't there. Possibly he just doesn't exist.

A girl spoke up and wanted to ask the boy some questions.
The teacher agreed and the girl asked the boy: 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!
GIRL: Tommy, do you see the teacher?
TOMMY: Yes
GIRL: Do you see her brain?
TOMMY: No

GIRL: Then according to what we were taught today in school, she possibly may not even have one!

So one can logically prove or disprove anything. It wholly depends who uses and how it is used. So logical analysis of a problem may lead one to any where, no where or some where. Then what is the use of logic? Do you understand my logic?

GOD is faith. Existence of God in every aspect of the world. We can see him through every creature of him, so in grass, tree, sky...whatever we can see, we can feel, we can percept whether we can explain or not! Nicely written however! Good to read, laugh and above all to feel and for a moment try to think philosophically! 
hahahahahahahahaha, too good!! Thanks for referring!!

Yes Just as Ms Sarika has mentioned we are trying to play smart with limited senses.We need to walk by faith and not by science. We have still understood a very minute percentage of whay God has created.

It is not necessary that whatever we cannot see doesn't exist. We decide by our senses. But our senses themselves have limited capacity. They can't work below or beyond a certain range. That doesn't mean The things beyond or below that doesn't exist. Sugar mixed in water, Air, light, life, emotions and many things cannot be seen doesn't mean they don't exist. How can we judge limitless energy with limited senses ?

That brings another question-how do you define logic?:)
