The Contest

Back Next

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 Almighty being otherwise engaged, the scientist walked up to one of the superior angels and said,

"We've decided that we no longer need God. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things."

After listening very patiently and kindly to the man, the angel replied,

"Very well, how about this, let's say we have a man making contest."

To which the scientist replied, "OK, great!"

But the angel 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.

The angel just looked at him and said,

"No, no, no ... You go get your own dirt ..."
