One scientist was picked by his peers to tell God that, because cloning people was practically a reality and with many other scientific miracles an everyday occurrence, He wasn't needed. Perhaps He could retire or just 'get lost'.
After listening patiently, God said, "Very well, how about this?  Let's have a man-making contest."
"Okay, great!" the scientist replied.
"But," God added, "we're going to do this the same way I did it back in the old days with Adam."
"Sure, no problem," said the scientist, as he bent down and grabbed a handful of dirt.
God smiled and said, "No, no, no.  You have to get your own dirt."
