One day, God and a scientest were debating crevo on Free Republic. They were making no headway in their heated exchange, so God decided a practical demonstration was necessary. God says, can science do this? And scooping up a handful of earth He created a man. The scientest said no problem and reached down for some dirt. Hey, no fair, exclaims God. Make your own dirt.

Good thing that man wasn't a Democrat. He'd be able to create plenty of dirt on demand.

PS- I just got told via Freepmail that I am an Objectivist. Think my preacher will mind?

Fine, says the scientist, but first prove you made dirt.

"One day, God and a scientist..."

No fair Jim! I once told this joke here on FR and nobody laughed...you must have better delivery than me!

I thought the scientist was just trying to demonstrate to God what the scientist thought God did when He created the evolving universe, and evolving life on earth. No?

We all know that science will never compare to God - but trying to understand God is a way of praising God. Sort of like your kids wanting to be like Daddy when they grow up.
