Yet of course but give time and one day it will and he too will be a tree.  Lightbulb

An interesting little analogy, but it still doesn't answer my question. How do we, the seed, have any knowledge as to the existence of the God, the tree, if we cannot understand it? You see, in our world, a tree's existence can be proven through objective, empirical evidence. It's not quite the same with God, whose existence is seemingly confirmed only through internal revelations that have no logical or empirical consistency and absolutely no objectivity whatsoever — something I would go so far as to say qualifies as a delusion.

If your argument is that we lack the senses or "capacity" to comprehend God's existence, as the seed does with the absence of perceptual organs, then again I ask, how do we (the seed) have any certain or even probable knowledge as to the existence of God (the tree), let alone the capacity to make claims as to his properties?

To make the claim (especially with certainty) that God is beyond our understanding necessitates a degree of understanding of God's nature in of itself — which is a massive contradiction. Unless, of course, you propose to possess a privileged or enlightened sense of understanding that the rest of us has been denied? If so, then that contradicts other oft-claimed properties of God — namely that he loves us all and made us all equal. If that were the case, nobody would possess any special or privileged ability to understand God's nature, or even understand our inability to do so. So no matter where you try to go with this, you're going to end up contradicting God's oft-attributed qualities. Why? Because they're logical and philosophical contradictions in of themselves, and have always been.


Easy.

A child can not yet comprehend what adulthood is all about but within he-she go ahead in the search for
something big.
Wasn't your wish when you were a child to grow up as an adult so you could expand physically-mentally and
in something else that was still unknown to you?
Of course you did.
Everybody did and does.
You are not an exception to the rule.
The child is not interested nor he is able to understand all the complexities of the adulthood but at the same time he-she wish to become one.
Why?
Because within there is an inborn tendency to become one like the little seed wish to grow and become the tree even if yet he doesn't know about the tree.

Why on earth a seed would care to get any evidence of the tree existence?
At that stage it can not yet comprehend that mighty issue but as the time goes on the child become an adult and more knowledge enter his-her consciousness.
But the inborn wish to expand doesn't end when the child become an adult.
It goes on and on until the consciousness within enter the last stage of adulthood and that is when there is no longer any differences between you and the essence of the tree of life.

As a tiny drop of water enter and merge in the ocean she become the ocean herself. Lightbulb
