I take it you've heard the joke regarding the scientists coming before God to tell Him that they had succeeded in figuring out how to create life from clay so God is no longer necessary; God nods to them, then asks them to do the experiment and show the efficacy of their theory; the scientists bend down to scoop up a couple of handfuls of clay, but God clears His throat "AHEM!" and tells them to get their own clay.

Very funny....I love it.
What's more poignant this season is that God found a way to wrap himself up into some of his clay...and pay us a visit, experiencing the frailties and even the death of this clay based flesh, to give us a chance to experience His life beyond the limitations of our own clay based flesh...he put his finger into matter to pull us out beyond all matter....

That's one of my all time favorite jokes.

"Get your own dirt, upstart!"
