No, because there's literally no reason to.
Using UU to make pretty much anything has 0 cool-factor because it's UU, and besides that it's also an extremely dumb way to make stone.
I don't see why people would want to use anything other than an igneous extruder to make stone.
It'd be like trying to pry open a can with a rock when you've got a perfectly good can opener (that's only purpose is to do the one thing that you're trying to find some outlandish alternative for) sitting right next to you.
Especially when it's a can of something extremely bland and unimportant. Leave the creativity to something that matters.

Well, it's obvious to use the igneous extruder, everybody knows that.
Minium stones, quarrying, cobblestone generators of several types, wands of equal trade, and UU-Matter are simply more creative ways. Or else this thread would have two posts, and maybe a few more on the argument of making stone, using wrathfire, or smelting cobblestone.
The only way that I'd call genuinely creative would be the wrath igniter. (Maybe the EE method. Maybe.) Everything else is kind of... eh. I certainly wouldn't call it creativity since it's basically just skimming through NEI.
On the whole, it's simply a list of least practical to most practical, with Igneous Extruders and Quarries being on top, and UU matter by far being the least practical method. Trust me, I wouldn't feel any more creative if I generated a stack of stone by wasting millions upon millions of EU in the process as opposed to just tossing cobble into a furnace.
Guys, guys.
Silk touch in an arcane bore.
Be sure to fire it at high altitude so you don't pick up too many unwanted ores and stuff.

This is another genuinely creative idea.
That's actually pretty good. Well done.
I still think wasting millions of EU is more creative than the Igneous Extruder
There's having creeper soul shards and... aggravating them

It's about as creative as me giving myself a root canal instead of going to the dentist.
If that's what you call creativity, you can have it for yourself.
Now THAT'S creative!
I still like my idea of having a few skeletons spawn and start attacking creepers, and have energy sucking obsidian pipes framed/turtled down there to pick everything up.
Don't say it doesn't sound like an extremely fun way to mine
Again, I don't really consider going through excessive amounts of pain in order to do something simple creative.
If it was something that involved a bunch of different stuff and in the end was a cool invention by itself, sure.
If you're just burning tons of EU to do so? Well, then you're just wasting energy in a boring way. That's like saying using a efficiency 5 enchanted sword to mine dirt/wood is creative; it's not, it's dumb.

Eh, I disagree. Creativity can be doing whatever people think it is.
Originality is doing what people don't. I use these words as near synonyms (as the definition for creativity is defined by yourself), so I may find pleasure in using UU Matter to make stone. Not like making anything through UU is fun.
Has nobody seen the post about "a stupidly complex over-engineered frame ship that harvests sheep"?
It's in someone's signature, and making stone out of UU is faster than an igneous extruder if you have the UU already. You don't need any lava either.
Superheat Mining Laser on smoothstone will drop smoothstone, by the way- as smoothstone can't be smelted into another block directly, the laser will instead break it, then try to smelt the cobblestone drop. It's faster than pickaxing the stone and cooking the cobble, but probably less efficient.
