Not in my view. God dug into the dirt with His hands to create man, while speaking all other life into existence. Did God become diminished when He got His hands dirty, when He could have spoke man into existence as well?

One of the wonders of God is how He is willing to reduce Himself to interact with us. He got His hands dirty to create us. He lived in earthly materials in order to dwell with us. God has often reduced His standards so we can have a bar to meet. God indwelled in a human body that got battered and bruised to for us. God is with us, wherever we are. He is in the prisons, the hospice, with the orphan and starving. It has always been the case the God reduced Himself to meet us on our level.

Creating a human body and inhabiting it, making it His own, is not beneath God at all. God is love.

Man goes to God and says, ‘We don’t need you anymore, we can make a man just like you.’

God says, “Ok show me.”

The man goes and picks up some dirt, and God interrupts and tells him, “No, go make your own dirt.”

Then you believe in a different god than the God of Divine Revelation. That's OK, as long as you realize it's your own making.

None of this has anything thing to do with the nature of God as he has revealed it to us. As your own personal preference you are, of course, welcome to it. There's not much point in discussing the nature of God with a person that has his own preferred notion of him based on his feelings. Have a blessed night.
