(pix by jgl) Do we comprehend the complexity of a seed with an enormous amount of information encoded in DNA/RNA that once buried in proper soil with nutrients and moisture begins its' process of unfolding, replicating, duplicating and generating all the proteins. The building blocks for carbohydrates lipids formation are present in the seed as well. How is even one more individual tree cell made? Then these pluripotent cells begin differentiating into other types of specialized cells for roots, branches, leaves and trunk (bark, phloem, cambium, xylem and heartwood) etc. Amazing.
Then sadly all (probably) trees have mutations (breakdowns of DNA/RNA), of a variety of forms, many that deform and debilitate the trees. Why? The Bible gives an answer that some people do not want to accept-the sin of man (from the time of Adam and Eve forward). Yet, mankind continues to try to save itself, but has never come close. I am thankful that technology and medical treatments have alleviated suffering but never will these obliviate completely the suffering. Only Jesus Christ can give true healing to the spirit and soul of man now and in the future true complete physical healing (as almost all mankind is destined to die). The Bible talks about a new heavens and earth. Isaiah 66:22 For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seed and your name remain. 2 Peter 3:13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. Evolution, as a religion-philosophy can only offer "Nature: Red in Tooth and Claw" and "Survival of the Fittest". How tragic and un-true. One of the most profoundly sad events in the history of seeking knowledge, to me, is that millions of students have been taught the evolutionary religio-philosophic concepts as the basic principles for the biologic sciences (and even the physical sciences). It, evolution, is NOT based on a set of scientific principles, nor does it exemplify them. It is based on a set of philosophic principles by which the religion of a belief in a non-creator universe and the life forms now seen in it came to be. This is tragic. The concepts of observational science have be thwarted and distorted. See the articles I have written with links below as well as on this website: The Biblical scriptures are very clear:
Romans 1 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; 19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. 20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: 21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, 23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. 24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves: 25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen. Some have claimed that the account is redundant and thus a compilation of two or more stories. It is not. The scriptures render a unified complete linear portrayal of the Flood. See book below for more information.
