Smart little girl

[$parechange]

> An atheist was seated next to a little girl on an airplane and
> he turned to her and said, "Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker
> if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger."
>
> The little girl, who had just started to read her book,
> replied to the total stranger, "What would you want to talk about?"
>
> " Oh, I don't know," said the atheist. "How about why there is
> no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after death?" as he smiled
> smugly.
>
> "OK," she said. "Those could be interesting topics but let me
> ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same
> stuff - grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns
> out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that
> is?"
>
> The atheist, visibly surprised by the little girl's
> intelligence, thinks about it and says, "Hmmm, I have no idea."
>
> To which the little girl replies, "Do you really feel qualified
> to discuss why there is no God, or no Heaven or Hell, or no life after
> death, when you don't know $hit?"
>
> And then she went back to reading her book.
