I hate to disappoint you, ray, but I'm fairly certain that one of the first
major cloning experiments was to do just that.  They succeeded about five
years ago.  Sorry.  God is not necessary for a leaf to be created.  Or, 
for that matter, a baby.  He/She/It probably does exist (I believe so, 
even if you do or do not), but not because of such flimsy proof as you
would offer.
