The Creator vs. The Scientist

God was sitting in heaven one day when a scientist said to Him, “God, we don’t need you anymore. Science has finally figured out a way to create life out of nothing – in other words, we can now do what you did in the beginning.”

“Oh, is that so? Explain…” replies God. “Well,” says the scientist, “we can take dirt and form it into the likeness of you and breathe life into it, thus creating man.”

“Well, that’s very interesting… show Me.”

So the scientist bends down to the earth and starts to mold the soil into the shape of a man. “No, no, no…” interrupts God, “Get your own dirt.”

Just as man can’t see gravity, yet know that it is real, we may not see the Lord, but He is omnipotent, omnipotent, and omniscient.

Poor analogy. Gravity can be measured, and various gravitational theories can predict how it affects matter and energy to a precise degree. This is not the case with God, (if He/She/It even exists in the first place).
