Dirt

[arclight]

There was an aetheist on the radio today, pushing his new book, there some quiet good,and funny, rebuttles on the phone in. But it reminded me of this is old one:


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 leave us to it"


God listened very patiently and kindly to the man and 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, "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 said, "Sure, no problem" and bent down and grabbed


himself a handful of dirt.


God just looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own


dirt!"
