No, get your own dirt!

I've just started my third year at university and as such I've had a load of new textbooks to read. YAWN!

However, I came across this brilliant little dialogue at the beginning of the section about genetic algorithms:

One day a group of eminent scientists got together and decided that Man had come a long way and no longer needed God. So they picked one 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 retire?"
God listened very patiently and then said "Very well, but first, how about this, let's 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 just looked at him and said "No no no, you go get your own dirt!"

Despite a few theological inaccuracies, I thought this was golden :). Yeah, we understand the universe more than we did 100 years ago, but we still didn't create the universe did we!
