Challenging God Poem by Randy McClave

A scientist once said to God
We too can go where you have trod,
We too can create what you have created
Spoke the scientist, who was very prideful and elated.
Said the Scientist to God we can do anything
Heat and energy we can also bring,
We can build, we can create, and we can also cure
And we can also be seen to the sick, as their savior.
We can also create any type of weather
We can cause and create Mother Nature to tether,
What you have done we now know
And then he said, we scientists can help plants and life grow.
We can dam the course of a mighty river
We have built an artificial heart, and liver,
What God has done, he said to others seem divine
We can do the same in a laboratory, and not in a shrine.
The scientist continued with his brag and boast
As trying his best to show up and show off to his host,
There is nothing he said that we scientists cannot do
We too can paint the oceans, and the sky blue.
The scientist said we have created life as you have done
We have cloned sheep and we too could create a son
Arrogantly spoke the Scientist without thinking in a blurt
God, then said, "fine, but first let me see you create dirt".
