Redundant God
A group of scientists got together and decided that Man had come such a long way
that they no longer needed God. God was redundant, they decided.
So they went to God and said, “We can clone people and do many wondrous things.
We really don’t need you any more and we think that you should retire.”
God listened patiently. “OK,” he said, “but first let us both make a man just
like I did with Adam, and we can compare our work.”
“Yes, let’s do that!” replied the scientists, as one bent down to scoop up a
handful of dirt from the ground.
“Oh, no, you don’t,” scolded God. “Go and get your own dirt.”
