A college student was in a philosophy class which had a discussion
about God's existence. The professor presented the following logic:
"Has anyone in this class heard God?" Nobody spoke.
"Has anyone in
this class touched God?" Again, nobody spoke.
"Has anyone in this
class seen God?" When nobody spoke for the third time, he simply
stated, "Then there is no God."
One student thought for a second,
and then asked for permission to reply. Curious to hear this bold
student's response, the professor granted it, and the student stood up
and asked the following questions of his classmates:
"Has anyone in
this class heard our professor's brain?" Silence.
"Has anyone in
this class touched our professor's brain?" Absolute silence.
"Has
anyone in this class seen our professor's brain?" When nobody in the
class dared to speak, the student concluded, "Then, according to our
professor's logic, it must be true that our professor has no brain!"
(...The student received an "A" in the class.)
