One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man
had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked
one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.
The scientist walked up to God and said, "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 very patiently and kindly to the man. After the
scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this?
Let's say we have a man-making contest." To which the scientist
replied, "Okay, great!"
But God added, "Now, we're going to do this just like I did back in
the old days with Adam."
The scientist said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed
himself a handful of dirt.
God looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own
dirt!"
