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 breathe life into it, thus
creating man."
"Well, that's interesting...show Me."
So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold
the soil.
"No, no, no..." interrupts God. "Get your own dirt.
