One day a group of scientists united and decided that man had come a long way, and no longer needed God. They picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.
The scientist walked up to God and informed him that, “God, we’ve decided that we no longer need You. We’re to the point that we can clone people, and do many miraculous things, so why don’t You just go on and get lost.”
God listened patiently and kindly to the scientist and, after the man was done talking, God answered, “Very well! How about this? Let’s have a man-making contest.”
The man replied, “OK, great!”
But God added, “Now we’re going to do this just like I did, back in the old days with Adam.”
The scientist replied, “Sure, no problem,” and bent down to grab himself a handful of dirt.
God just looked at him and remarked, “No, no, no. You go get your own dirt! I CREATED that dirt!”
