God vs. The Government

In the beginning God Created heaven and the earth.  Quickly he was faced with a 
class action suit for failure to file an environmental impact statement.  He 
was granted a temporary permit for the project, but was stymied with the Cease 
and Desist order for the earthly part.  Appearing at the hearing, God was asked 
why he began his earthly project in the first place.  He replied that he just 
liked to be creative.

Then God said, "Let there be light." Officials immediately demanded to know how 
the light would be made. Would there be strip mining? What about thermal 
pollution?

God explained that the light would come from a huge ball of fire. God was 
granted provisional permission to make light, assuming that no smoke would 
result from the ball of fire, that he would obtain a building permit, and (to 
conserve energy) would have the light out half the time.

God agreed and said he would call the light "Day" and the darkness "Night." 
Officials replied that they were not interested in semantics.

God said, "Let the earth bring forth green herb and such as many seed."  The 
EPA agreed so long as native seed was used.

Then God said, "Let waters bring forth creeping creatures having life; and the 
fowl that may fly over the earth." Officials pointed out this would require 
approval from the Department of Game coordinated with the Heavenly Wildlife 
Federation and the Audubongelic Society.

Everything was OK until God said he wanted to complete the project in six days. 
Officials informed him it would take at least 200 days to review the 
application and the environmental impact statement. After that there would be a 
public hearing. Then there would be 10-12 months before...

At this point God created Hell.
