A group of scientists tell God they can make a better man than He did.
God says, “You’re on”.
One of the scientists tells another, “Go get a bucket of dirt.”
God says, “No, no ... Make your own dirt.”
Fair enough.
Does not seem to have anything to do with the topic at hand.
I have never seen a scientist say he/she can manufacture energy or matter. Perhaps you can provide a link where such a claim was made?
