(forward from my good friend Geoff this morning)
God is sitting in heaven when a scientist prays to Him.
“God, we don’t need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing - in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning.”
“Oh, is that so? Tell Me…” replies God.
“Well,” says the scientist, “we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breath life into it, thus creating man.”
“Well, that’s very interesting…show Me.”
So the scientist bends down to the earth & starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man.
“No, no, no…” interrupts God, “get your own dirt.”
