A young college student, considered to be an intellectual elitist, announced to a group of friends that he would believe nothing that he could not understand. Another student, who lived on a farm nearby, turned to the intellectual and remarked, "As I drove to campus today, I passed a field in which some sheep were grazing. Do you believe it?" "Sure," replied the young man. "Well, not far from the sheep," the student-farmer said, "some calves were chewing on the fresh grass. Do you believe it?" "Yeah, why not?" "Well, not too far down the road there was a gaggle of geese feeding. Do you believe this?" asked the student-farmer. "I guess so," came the reply. "Well," said the student-farmer, "the grass that the sheep ate will turn into wool; the grass that the calves ate will turn into hair; the grass that the geese ate will turn into feathers. Do you believe this?" "Sure I do," the too-smart student answered. "But do you understand it?" "Uh, no," the intellectual student said, somewhat puzzled. "You know," said the student-farmer, "if you live long enough, you will find that there are a great many things you will believe without understanding."
