I'm still waiting for science to get the 5-day forecast right.
There is an interesting Joke about this.
In the far flung future, science gets to the point where they *can* string together molecules one by one, using atoms from common materials, until they create a copy of replicate simple DNA based life.
One day, God himself appears before the scientist and asks him who does he think he is, copying life? The scientist says “I’m not copying life, I cam CREATING it!”.
So God challenges him to a competition. God himself reaches and grabs a handful of dirt, speaks a thundering word, and opens his hand. Instead of dirt, there is a beautiful striped caterpillar. God’s eyes twinkle, and he waves his hand and the caterpillar changes into a butterfly which takes to wing.
The scientist, taken back, says, well, I can’t do that, but I can create life. He bends over to scoop up a little dirt to put into his multi-billion dollar machinery, when God interrupts him andy says — “Hey, Use your OWN dirt!”.
