As strange as this may sound... I was growing around 50 or so plants in a winter garden room of my apartment. I accidentally bumped one pot at the lowest level near the ground shelf, and one of its young branch vine sagged to the floor. I noted it but did nothing... the next morning, I walked in and found that the pot plant branch vine next to the one that had sagged to the ground, had extended to the ground. By midday, that branch had curled upwards and with its curled vine ending had lifted the other branch vine up. The next day both branch vines were upright. I took pictures of each stage!!
"For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands." Isaiah 55:12
Redwood trees are known to join together to keep their neighbor trees from falling. Some trees will "starve" themselves of nourishment to send it to younger or struggling trees. In Heaven, everything that is alive sings praises to the LORD, all the time. Sometimes, they all join in together in a glorious concert!
@@ittybittykittymama7582 This is true and certainly a magnificent aspect of nature. But, if it was true that hardship, disease, cruelty, and famines did not exist before humans' Fall, such collaboration would never have occurred in trees. Much, if not ALL, of the beauty we see in nature is because of ways Life has adapted to survive in a world with death, cruelty, and hardship. Without death, there is no life. If death and cruelty really didn't exist then, beauty and life would have been far less meaningful.
The idea of trees "starving" themselves to help others is a popular concept, often presented in a more poetic or metaphorical way. While some level of resource sharing likely occurs, it's crucial to remember that trees are primarily driven by their own survival instincts.
I was a primary school teacher during the 1990s and at the end of most hymn practices and some assemblies, I would lead the little children in a song, 'You shall go out with joy.' My heart would lift up as I hope theirs did, as we sang. The verses were from Isaiah and the chorus was, 'And the trees of the fields shall clap their hands And the trees of the fields shall clap their hands And the trees of the fields shall clap their hands And you'll go out with joy.' We used to raise our arms and clap our hands above our heads, everybody smiling. A beautiful way to start our day.
This the same God that allows the innocent to die of starvation hunger violence disease etc. I'm talking about all the children of the world. Where is your great god then or is your God only that for the Americans.
Been a "Christian" most of my life. Ar age 44, I finally saw the light, gave my heart to Jesus, and am born again. Now I no longer fear the impending death of my flesh, and I have butterflies when I think about eternity with our Lord.
Glory to God! Those who don't believe are truly given over to a deceiving spirit and are with our excuse. The more I study Creation the more My mind is overwhelmed with Praise to my Wonderful Creator.
@@rk72107 What makes you think John knew what he was talking about, or that he was telling the truth? In John 19.14 he says that the last supper was before passover and that jesus was crucified about noon on the first day of passover. John is also credited with the writing of revelation, one of the ugliest pieces of literature ever contrived. In it he says one like the son of man has a voice like a loud trumpet and a voice like many waters rev 1.10. So, why does your god demand glory and praise while he threatens us with living death? 'Love'? How?

Don't leap to conclusions so soon. The study of plant "intelligence", behavior, and consciousness is still effectively in its infancy. They are probably far more aware of their world than we give them credit for, but any "intelligence" or "sentience" they possess is probably unlike that of humans and other animals.
Trees compete for space chemically by trying to kill those near them. They also communicate chemically. The process was described years ago by chemist concerned with them. It is 'involuntary, like 'sibling rivalry, or fighting over the teat.
I've saw a few TV programmes actually SHOWING the connections underground of tree-roots helping young trees and also mushrooms sending for HELP to the surrounding trees for water. One of the nature shows on TV showed the viewer with the aid of specially made scientific wires and pick-up points so that you could actually HEAR the water going up the tree when it was having what we'd call, a drink.... Amazing !

The evidence of God’s existence and qualities can be seen all around us, pointing to His creative work and leaving an impression of His divine presence. It’s also a call to humility, showing that God’s evidence is both profound and accessible, inviting all people to seek and know Him.
Anything you don't understand, GODDIDIT! Right? That's what was said about thunder and lightning, and earthquakes, and the Sun and Moon appearing at regular intervals. Humans have always attributed thing they don't know to the supernatural.
@@donteatthecats0001 The question of whether “God” is used to explain things we don’t understand-often referred to as the “God of the gaps” argument-raises a thoughtful philosophical debate. Historically, people sometimes invoked God to explain unknowns in the natural world, such as the cause of thunderstorms or disease, before science provided alternative explanations. However, many believers view God not just as an answer for the unexplained but as the source of meaning and purpose that science alone can’t address. Philosophers and theologians suggest that God is not merely an explanation for mysteries but rather the foundational being who makes existence, logic, and the intelligibility of the universe possible. In this view, belief in God transcends any individual mystery and represents an answer to the deeper questions of purpose, moral values, and consciousness.
_The evidence of God’s existence and qualities can be seen all around us, pointing to His creative work and leaving an impression of His divine presence_ It must have seemed that way to ignorant bronze age peoples who had no idea where the sun went at night.
Beautiful. Growing up in the African Bush, my Dad has been telling us this since we were very young. He told us the trees are talking to each other and warning each other. That is why you will see the kudu eating from one tree, moving on to another tree not long afterwards. Amazing.
I had to have a very old, very large tree cut down due to rotting in the trunk and the probability of it falling dangerously. I am telling you, you could sense the sadness in a nearby tree (not as old, but still large) and its relief when the trunk of the cut tree put out new stems and leaves. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but the information here confirms a connection. (I am relieved.)
I’ve been planting native trees in a local park to enhance the diversity of plant and animal life there. This past summer we had long spells of drought and many trees planted in isolation needed to be watered as their leaves were wilting. However, in one 10-foot area there is a 12-foot Sweetgum tree, 5 persimmon trees that grew there from seed and several oak trees that grew because someone dumped a bucket of acorns at the base of the Sweetgum tree. What’s fascinating is the leaves on those trees never appeared wilted. I would have thought with so many trees growing too closely together would have used up the water reserves in the soil and all would be compromised. But it appears they’re all thriving! It will be fun to see what transpires over the years. Maybe each species contributes something needed by the others and collectively they will be able to survive. Thx for the inspiring video.
There is a theory that mitochondria are symbiotic with their host cells. Nitrogen fixing nodule bacteria are a good example of symbiosis. Some organisms like E.coli can be both symbiotic and pathogenic. Of course many other life forms are parasitic or necrotic. I would say that these life forms, and most plants, are very much older than 6000 years.
Yes, sharing is good for all the trees, the process evolved to help them survive. Your example is good evidence for that. And yet Calvin here claims this very process you described, that helped those plants survived goes against the principles of evolution. He is either a giant moron or a terrible liar. More than likely both.
@@earthisasphere "the process evolved to help them survive"...do you comprehend what you just wrote...those processes had to be in place to begin with for those trees to survive over the eons. Deep time doesn't cut it. Wow...logic and discernment apparently are no longer taught in government schools which explains the current state of our society.
Wood weeps cellulose. The ground is saturated in the nutrients that they all need to grow. Water helps with photosynthesis but if the tree is fed indirectly it does not need to produce it's own. I believe the leaves wilt to save the trunk of the tree kind of like how our body turns off functions to save our core organs.
@earthisasphere My problem with evolutionary theory is that we have no evidence showing intermediary forms of creatures, as far as I am aware. How do fish grow legs and walk onto land? Mutation is not a quick process, it cannot produce a fish with legs from a fish without legs without many, many intermediary generations- generations which would logically be less fit to survive than the legless fish due to their worse than useless half-formed legs. Consider how rare genetic mutations are, and how it is even more rare for them to be beneficial, and how it would be even more rare for a detrimental mutation to survive to the next generation, and then even more rare for another mutation to occur within that mutated specimen, and even more rare for that mutation to progress the former detrimental mutation in a manner that could eventually lead to something beneficial (like a leg). This process cannot be the way that we got such varied, functional, and beautiful fauna and flora, it is impossible no matter how many years you give it, this process would not be able to produce life as we know it.

It's true! And if I'm remembering correctly, God even made plants communicate (through the air I think) using hormones to alert each other of danger. Our God is an awesome God indeed ^-^ *Edit:* I should've watched until 8:00 ha ha, I was just excited that this was being talked about xP

The "Wood Wide Web" does sound very interesting, especially how they might actually have a tiny ability to choose life or death to any plant or tree it might be connected to. Example: 2 trees next to each other while one is dead or dying. Mineral sharing I can see and understand, but a thought process, ... well perhaps? The Earth moans and groans?
God is more than wonderful than our hearts can believe, He's more than amazing, more than miraculous could ever be. That's what the God of the Bible is for the true believers, the born again people.
From years of gardening in small spaces I've noticed plants communication through roots, I had thought possibly by roots directly contacting each other and communicate through chemicals, similar to brain. This video taught me there's a fungus growing between roots connecting them together.
That fungus is part of the rich matrix of the soil. It includes earthworms and bacteria also. My mother used to be able to grow almost anything in plant pots. She always began by building up the soil. The tub would contain worms and some soil from an older tub, which I recognise now was to introduce the bacteria and fungus. Adding regular compost of rotted vegetable peelings feed this system and it feeds the plants.
Beautiful video. We recently planted three Quaken Aspen on our half acre. We only have white pine or what our neighbors call Jackpine on our lot. I wanted color and variation. I grew up in Woodfords California where there were many Quaken Aspen. It was my daddy’s favorite tree. I prayed over my trees hoping the Lord would bless them. They’re showing signs of life so we just check them often. God is so wondrous!!!
Excellent presentation. I look forward to Jesus coming back to earth when all things will be restored. Is it wonderful to see all the extinct fauna and flora to return to what they are meant to be?
The Book of Revelation. 22 Then the angel showed me a river of life-giving (living, pure) crystal clear water flowing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb 2in the middle of the main street of the city [the New Jerusalem] [Genesis 2:10; Ezekiel 47:1-12]. On both sides of the river stood the tree of life [singular] which bears fruit twelve times a year and gives its harvest every month. The leaves of the tree are life-giving (to healing - Gr. therapeian) for the peoples.
It was looking out the window at Sycamore tree "helicopters" floating upwards, and apparently in certain cases landing 2km away that really made me think about intelligent design and subsequently God. Each of the seeds is a wing with a counterweight, which is actually the most efficient type of propeller that exists. When you think about the breadth and depth of design that exists in nature, God's existence is really undeniable, as it states in Romans 1:20.
Lot of seeds have evolved to be widely dispersed by wind. There are gliders, parachutes, spinners, drifters (cotton like) and others. Design would have been if all seeds were the same, but evolution doesn't look for the best design, it can't. I just pass on whatever increases the chances of survival.
Well done to this channel…pointing us to the profound God who took time in the details. I credit Triune God, Bible, friends, Christian counselling and nature for my healing from deep depression.

You are experiencing the "wonderment" which children have at the discovery of every NEW thing. Pondering the complexity and beauty of nature we see the evidence by the things HE has made and designed ... my thing is looking at stars, it humbles me.
I've always known that nature is vastly more complex and intelligent than we can imagine. But, I have appreciated it quietly for fear of entering into mysticism. Or for being perceived as such. I was wrong for that and so was the culture that made me feel that way. To study nature is to study the mind of God.
Tolkien’s writing style was refined and tightened upon joining a literary group called the Inkling, who happen to be founded by the Freemasons during Tolkien’s tenure at the University of Oxford. So it’s no surprise that we find biblical references/ evidence of the idea of talking trees considering Tolkien’s ties to the Esoteric. Furthermore, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is literally jammed packed with full of Gnostic Allegory, occultic references, iconography, and symbolism.
Since God created animal life to adapt (epigenetics and such) it does make sense that He'd do the same with His other creations. DNA is such an unbelievably rich information format, we have barely touched on what wonders are stored there. :)

Meanwhile humans go out into Nature and hunt down the strongest animals and cut down the Mother trees...

Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see if perhaps he would find anything on it; and when he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for figs. He said to it, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again!” “At the time of their punishment they shall be brought down,” Says the Lord. This shows that the trees listen and understand our language....😮😮😮😮😮what the heck?!??! I didn't realize!!! 😮😮
So much for Rush's proposition in Trees. The allegory falls apart when it turns out the tall and short trees are working cooperatively. Maybe we need to learn from the trees and help our fellow neighbors.
Yeah, you can't even begin to scratch the surface of this subject in a 15 min video. I am blessed to interact with this part of God's creation every day. When you stare at nature through that lens, the beauty is overwhelming. When you apply Roman's chaper 1, it makes sense, because you can see God in his creation.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb, I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made, your works are wonderful, I know that full well. ❤❤My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. 😮 Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be. Psalms 139:13-16 When I first learned about the communication between plants within the soil my mind was blown!!!! Consider this; what are we made of? Elements that come together through the depths of the earth to form proteins that make up the plants we eventually ingest. Our body then breaks them down into usable elements to recreate proteins necessary for the building blocks of life! We are literally woven together in the depths of the earth 🌍 ❤❤❤ Our God is awesome!!!!!!

Congratulations, AiG. The first chunk of the video was actually an enjoyable, quality video. In those forst segments, you shared God's incredible Creation, rather than imposing a strict biblical _interpretation_ on it. I'm glad we can still appreciate the wonder of trees, mycellia, and the interconnectivity of our Earth together. The last part really illustrated how misunderstood (or unfortunately sometimes, ignored) evolution is within many people. I'm not a naturalist (as in the belief - not the studying of nature), but evolution as I understand does not inherently entail selfish bloodshed and the physically strong crushing the weak. Collaboration as much as competition drives adaptation. Life wants to survive, whether its aware of it or not. Functioning organisms are genetically coded to carry out what is necessary to do just that. Cruelty and death may be involved along the way, but that is the inevitable flipside of beauty and life. We see this all throughout nature. A wildfire causes death, but it also is required for life. After the old is cleared away, ash and nutrients within help the forest to be reborn. On a more specific scale, the lodgepole pine (a species of coniferous tree) requires fire for its resin-sealed gametophytes (cones) to open and release exposed seeds. Without life there is no death, but without death there is no life.
Hi from the UK. I actually live in Staffordshire very near where RR Tolkien lived. There is a bench where he used to sit, on a quiet land over looking fields. cool video. Thanks for sharing.
How would it be possible for a tree to send this information and react defensively without a brain? How is it possible that fungus and plants work together to communicate? 10:00 I am guessing that these divine things are normalized that we don't really perceive them as such. 10:53 Seeing the other trees as a benefit or a since of community. Like the pines and other trees helping each other through the seasons.
In the Black Forest in Germany the trees withhold their acorns from dropping when they notice too many wild pigs eating them up. The teees are practically self preserving. When one tree is dying the others nearby will send liguid sugars via their root system and mycelium network to the struggling sapling. Trees and mushrooms are the greatest things on this earth. Thank God I am alive to experience such wonders.
Many years ago, they were experimenting with playing various music styles to plants, I believe the study concluded that classical music gave the best results Fair use Quote "For most plants playing classical or jazz music caused growth to increase, while harsher metal music induced stress. This may be because the vibrations of metal music are too intense for plants and stimulate cells a little too much. We think of this like massaging your plant with a song - they prefer a gentler touch."
Yes, in the 70's they also reacted to being nice and talking to them and even thinking about burning one with a lighter got the sensors going off. I don't remember what they were sensing, vibrations or waves or what but they were using instruments to detect physical reactions and it was mind blowing.
The world has known about this for 40 years. It took YEC's that long to try to figure out how to (unsuccessfully) work this into their narrative. That is why it took them so long to tell you about it. And that is why you should study science from sources that are actually goo scientific sources, not apologetics channels.

If you read Fellowship of the Rings you find out what happened to the female Ents. They moved to Tom Bombadil's forest to live under his protection. They appear just after the heroes move into the forest and they note that the trees moved closer and closer to them until they were completely around them and over them, but moved away as the Hobbits move through the forest. And as for Tom, people say he sang nonsense songs but I have a very old dictionary that has Middle English words in it and Tom is singing about who he is! If you have Tokien's book The Silmarillion, you can learn who Tom is and how he and Goldberry came into existence.

Nah, he doesn't think that, he knows better, but it sure does sound good for the people he lies to for money.
Amazing and beautiful. I think of all the trees i seen falling down in all the videos from the hurricanes and the floods happening around the world. My fear is there could be not enough trees still standing to make the weather better. To make the air better. Will we become desolate like Mars? End times talk of stars falling and the world ending. But the Lords prayer says "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven". So my hope is Earth will recover. & they say Jesus will come back soon in a light so great we wont even need the sun and that everything that can fly will fly towards his light coming. & seeds dormant in the soil will spring up and bloom.

If death and cruelty really didn't exist then, beauty and life would have been far less meaningful.
The idea of trees "starving" themselves to help others is a popular concept, often presented in a more poetic or metaphorical way. While some level of resource sharing likely occurs, it's crucial to remember that trees are primarily driven by their own survival instincts.
I was a primary school teacher during the 1990s and at the end of most hymn practices and some assemblies, I would lead the little children in a song, 'You shall go out with joy.'
My heart would lift up as I hope theirs did, as we sang.
The verses were from Isaiah and the chorus was,
'And the trees of the fields shall clap their hands
And the trees of the fields shall clap their hands
And the trees of the fields shall clap their hands
And you'll go out with joy.'
We used to raise our arms and clap our hands above our heads, everybody smiling.
A beautiful way to start our day.
Wow you did wonderful by those children, praise God!
We know so little of how great GOD is
Amen!!!
This the same God that allows the innocent to die of starvation hunger violence disease etc. I'm talking about all the children of the world. Where is your great god then or is your God only that for the Americans.

When vegans say they won’t eat ‘sentient’ foods, I shake my head at their lack of knowledge of nature. All plants are sentient.

Don't leap to conclusions so soon. The study of plant "intelligence", behavior, and consciousness is still effectively in its infancy. They are probably far more aware of their world than we give them credit for, but any "intelligence" or "sentience" they possess is probably unlike that of humans and other animals.

“ ‘Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord!’
Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!”
And some of the Pharisees called to Him from the crowd, “Teacher, rebuke Your disciples.”

@@donteatthecats0001 And eventually science is able to explain it through natural processes...
@@donteatthecats0001 The question of whether “God” is used to explain things we don’t understand-often referred to as the “God of the gaps” argument-raises a thoughtful philosophical debate. Historically, people sometimes invoked God to explain unknowns in the natural world, such as the cause of thunderstorms or disease, before science provided alternative explanations. However, many believers view God not just as an answer for the unexplained but as the source of meaning and purpose that science alone can’t address.
Philosophers and theologians suggest that God is not merely an explanation for mysteries but rather the foundational being who makes existence, logic, and the intelligibility of the universe possible. In this view, belief in God transcends any individual mystery and represents an answer to the deeper questions of purpose, moral values, and consciousness.
_The evidence of God’s existence and qualities can be seen all around us, pointing to His creative work and leaving an impression of His divine presence_

Beautiful.
Growing up in the African Bush, my Dad has been telling us this since we were very young. He told us the trees are talking to each other and warning each other. That is why you will see the kudu eating from one tree, moving on to another tree not long afterwards. Amazing.
I adore kudus.
I had to have a very old, very large tree cut down due to rotting in the trunk and the probability of it falling dangerously. I am telling you, you could sense the sadness in a nearby tree (not as old, but still large) and its relief when the trunk of the cut tree put out new stems and leaves. I know it sounds a bit crazy, but the information here confirms a connection. (I am relieved.)
I’ve been planting native trees in a local park to enhance the diversity of plant and animal life there. This past summer we had long spells of drought and many trees planted in isolation needed to be watered as their leaves were wilting. However, in one 10-foot area there is a 12-foot Sweetgum tree, 5 persimmon trees that grew there from seed and several oak trees that grew because someone dumped a bucket of acorns at the base of the Sweetgum tree. What’s fascinating is the leaves on those trees never appeared wilted. I would have thought with so many trees growing too closely together would have used up the water reserves in the soil and all would be compromised. But it appears they’re all thriving! It will be fun to see what transpires over the years. Maybe each species contributes something needed by the others and collectively they will be able to survive. Thx for the inspiring video.
There is a theory that mitochondria are symbiotic with their host cells. Nitrogen fixing nodule bacteria are a good example of symbiosis. Some organisms like E.coli can be both symbiotic and pathogenic. Of course many other life forms are parasitic or necrotic. I would say that these life forms, and most plants, are very much older than 6000 years.
Yes, sharing is good for all the trees, the process evolved to help them survive. Your example is good evidence for that. And yet Calvin here claims this very process you described, that helped those plants survived goes against the principles of evolution. He is either a giant moron or a terrible liar. More than likely both.
@@earthisasphere "the process evolved to help them survive"...do you comprehend what you just wrote...those processes had to be in place to begin with for those trees to survive over the eons. Deep time doesn't cut it. Wow...logic and discernment apparently are no longer taught in government schools which explains the current state of our society.
Wood weeps cellulose. The ground is saturated in the nutrients that they all need to grow. Water helps with photosynthesis but if the tree is fed indirectly it does not need to produce it's own. I believe the leaves wilt to save the trunk of the tree kind of like how our body turns off functions to save our core organs.
@earthisasphere My problem with evolutionary theory is that we have no evidence showing intermediary forms of creatures, as far as I am aware.
How do fish grow legs and walk onto land? Mutation is not a quick process, it cannot produce a fish with legs from a fish without legs without many, many intermediary generations- generations which would logically be less fit to survive than the legless fish due to their worse than useless half-formed legs.
Consider how rare genetic mutations are, and how it is even more rare for them to be beneficial, and how it would be even more rare for a detrimental mutation to survive to the next generation, and then even more rare for another mutation to occur within that mutated specimen, and even more rare for that mutation to progress the former detrimental mutation in a manner that could eventually lead to something beneficial (like a leg). This process cannot be the way that we got such varied, functional, and beautiful fauna and flora, it is impossible no matter how many years you give it, this process would not be able to produce life as we know it.
Just imagine how animals & plants were before the fall and will be on the New Earth

From years of gardening in small spaces I've noticed plants communication through roots, I had thought possibly by roots directly contacting each other and communicate through chemicals, similar to brain. This video taught me there's a fungus growing between roots connecting them together.
That fungus is part of the rich matrix of the soil. It includes earthworms and bacteria also. My mother used to be able to grow almost anything in plant pots. She always began by building up the soil. The tub would contain worms and some soil from an older tub, which I recognise now was to introduce the bacteria and fungus.
Adding regular compost of rotted vegetable peelings feed this system and it feeds the plants.
@@FlowDeFlowDrainagethanks for the reply, very useful information.

Excellent presentation. I look forward to Jesus coming back to earth when all things will be restored. Is it wonderful to see all the extinct fauna and flora to return to what they are meant to be?

The Book of Revelation. 22 Then the angel showed me a river of life-giving (living, pure) crystal clear water flowing out of the throne of God and of the Lamb 2in the middle of the main street of the city [the New Jerusalem] [Genesis 2:10; Ezekiel 47:1-12]. On both sides of the river stood the tree of life [singular] which bears fruit twelve times a year and gives its harvest every month. The leaves of the tree are life-giving (to healing - Gr. therapeian) for the peoples.
It was looking out the window at Sycamore tree "helicopters" floating upwards, and apparently in certain cases landing 2km away that really made me think about intelligent design and subsequently God. Each of the seeds is a wing with a counterweight, which is actually the most efficient type of propeller that exists. When you think about the breadth and depth of design that exists in nature, God's existence is really undeniable, as it states in Romans 1:20.
Lot of seeds have evolved to be widely dispersed by wind. There are gliders, parachutes, spinners, drifters (cotton like) and others. Design would have been if all seeds were the same, but evolution doesn't look for the best design, it can't. I just pass on whatever increases the chances of survival.

I've always known that nature is vastly more complex and intelligent than we can imagine. But, I have appreciated it quietly for fear of entering into mysticism. Or for being perceived as such. I was wrong for that and so was the culture that made me feel that way. To study nature is to study the mind of God.
Complex yes. Intelligent, no.
Tolkien’s writing style was refined and tightened upon joining a literary group called the Inkling, who happen to be founded by the Freemasons during Tolkien’s tenure at the University of Oxford. So it’s no surprise that we find biblical references/ evidence of the idea of talking trees considering Tolkien’s ties to the Esoteric. Furthermore, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy is literally jammed packed with full of Gnostic Allegory, occultic references, iconography, and symbolism.
I wondered if Tollien was a Freemason. That would explain quite a bit, but not in a good way.

The last part really illustrated how misunderstood (or unfortunately sometimes, ignored) evolution is within many people. I'm not a naturalist (as in the belief - not the studying of nature), but evolution as I understand does not inherently entail selfish bloodshed and the physically strong crushing the weak. Collaboration as much as competition drives adaptation. Life wants to survive, whether its aware of it or not. Functioning organisms are genetically coded to carry out what is necessary to do just that. Cruelty and death may be involved along the way, but that is the inevitable flipside of beauty and life.
We see this all throughout nature. A wildfire causes death, but it also is required for life. After the old is cleared away, ash and nutrients within help the forest to be reborn. On a more specific scale, the lodgepole pine (a species of coniferous tree) requires fire for its resin-sealed gametophytes (cones) to open and release exposed seeds. Without life there is no death, but without death there is no life.
Then shall the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth. 1 Chronicles 16:33

How would it be possible for a tree to send this information and react defensively without a brain? How is it possible that fungus and plants work together to communicate?
10:00 I am guessing that these divine things are normalized that we don't really perceive them as such.
10:53 Seeing the other trees as a benefit or a since of community. Like the pines and other trees helping each other through the seasons.
Programming.
In the Black Forest in Germany the trees withhold their acorns from dropping when they notice too many wild pigs eating them up. The teees are practically self preserving. When one tree is dying the others nearby will send liguid sugars via their root system and mycelium network to the struggling sapling. Trees and mushrooms are the greatest things on this earth. Thank God I am alive to experience such wonders.
I woodn't miss this for the world
I've known about this for a while, but still amazing. I've grown quite interested in fungi after seeing a display about them at a county fair.
One of the most interesting and captivating things I have learned in a long while
Many years ago, they were experimenting with playing various music styles to plants, I believe the study concluded that classical music gave the best results
Fair use Quote "For most plants playing classical or jazz music caused growth to increase, while harsher metal music induced stress. This may be because the vibrations of metal music are too intense for plants and stimulate cells a little too much. We think of this like massaging your plant with a song - they prefer a gentler touch."
Yes, in the 70's they also reacted to being nice and talking to them and even thinking about burning one with a lighter got the sensors going off. I don't remember what they were sensing, vibrations or waves or what but they were using instruments to detect physical reactions and it was mind blowing.
I love the work AIG does to open the eyes of the world to the wonderful creation from God!
The world has known about this for 40 years. It took YEC's that long to try to figure out how to (unsuccessfully) work this into their narrative. That is why it took them so long to tell you about it. And that is why you should study science from sources that are actually goo scientific sources, not apologetics channels.
Can only Imagine what God's kingdom is like. It so worth studing the bible and learning his ways. All of us should not want to miss out on spending eternity with the one who created all including everyone of us.
Another high-quality and interesting video🎉
Sounds like the internet is a counterfeit of this Creation of God. Praise God ❤️
God is AWESOME ❤
Astonishing thank you and God Bless you!!
Fantastical! Other worldly! Imaginary.
GOD giveth unto all Life! 🌱
PRAISE THE LORD!
GOD BLESS

Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 2Timothy 4
If you read Fellowship of the Rings you find out what happened to the female Ents. They moved to Tom Bombadil's forest to live under his protection. They appear just after the heroes move into the forest and they note that the trees moved closer and closer to them until they were completely around them and over them, but moved away as the Hobbits move through the forest. And as for Tom, people say he sang nonsense songs but I have a very old dictionary that has Middle English words in it and Tom is singing about who he is! If you have Tokien's book The Silmarillion, you can learn who Tom is and how he and Goldberry came into existence. It is vital if you try to figure out the One Question Frodo asks Ton, Lord, who are you.
Thank you.
Thank you for this video. I love trees and nature generally. This was inspiring. God is so good.
Humbling. Exciting. Inspiring. All at the same time. God is good.
This does nothing to prove a god. It is mind boggling someone could claim that, and even more mind boggling that people believe them.
@@earthisasphereIf it's so mind boggling that someone believes in God, help me understand why you are watching and commenting.
@@jude.25 I've seen these comments sections for a while, and it's possible that he isn't watching, just commenting.
@@jude.25 Because I don't like liars.
@@OlegLankin I have watched every video I comment on. Calvin thinks Tolkien writing about tree-ents somehow supports the idea that the interconnectedness of plants that he is 40 yrs behind is somehow evidence that plants didn't evolve but were rather created? He can't see how neighboring plants working together would be good for both of the plants and thinks that goes against the principles of evolution? Nah, he doesn't think that, he knows better, but it sure does sound good for the people he lies to for money.
This was simply amazing!
Absolutely amazing! How great is the God of the Bible!
Just as great as you want it to be. That's the beauty of having an imaginairy friend.
The Wood Wide Web is absolutely amazing. Sending love and warm greetings from the creeks and woodland of Missouri.
Love this.
Amazing and beautiful. I think of all the trees i seen falling down in all the videos from the hurricanes and the floods happening around the world. My fear is there could be not enough trees still standing to make the weather better. To make the air better. Will we become desolate like Mars? End times talk of stars falling and the world ending. But the Lords prayer says "Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven". So my hope is Earth will recover. & they say Jesus will come back soon in a light so great we wont even need the sun and that everything that can fly will fly towards his light coming. & seeds dormant in the soil will spring up and bloom. AMEN. I love your channel. Thank you for your amazing story telling gift. Thank you God. Amen.
We cannot grasp the greatness of our God.
If you can't grasp it then why are you tying to inflict it?
@@joefriday2275 When you inquire of the purveyors of the supernatural they usually tell the rest of us about its superlative nature. Infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent, hidden and with just hint of menace. The actual number of supernatural 'persons' such as gods and his sons, angels, archangels, demons, goblins and talking snakes seems very large but perhaps deliberately vague and ill described. Even monotheism = triangle.
You cannot grasp what does not exist.

Scripture should be a scaffold, you make it a cage. To you the Bible has become an idol.
Great message, beautifully done! ❤
What happened at 1:33?
Maybe there was an Australian Painter symbol and RUclips didn't like it
Yae the vid did not upload correctly or something?
