God's challenge to Us!

"God left a world unfinished for man to work his skill upon. He left the electricity still in the cloud, the oil still in the earth. He left the rivers unbridged and the forest unfilled and the cities unbuilt. God gave to man the challenge of raw materials, not the ease of finished things. He left the problem unsolved and the pictures unpainted and the music unsung that man might know the joys and glories of creator. God created the quarries, but he carves the statues only by the hand of man!"

The Power of Technology

One day a group of scientists got together and decided that man had come a long way an no longer needed God. So they picked one scientist to go and tell Him that they were done with Him.

The scientist walked up to God and said, "God, we've decided that we no longer need you. We're to the point that we can clone people and do many miraculous things, so why don't you just go on and get lost."

God Listened very patiently and kindly to the man.

After the scientist was done talking, God said, "Very well, how about this? Let's say we have a man making contest."

To which the scientist replied, "Okay, great!"

But God added, "Now we're going to do this just like I did back in the old days with Adam."

The scientist said, "Sure, no problem." And bent down and grabbed himself a handful of dirt.

God looked at him and said, "No, no, no. You go get your own dirt!"
