Perhaps when people make that assertion, they do not mean one specific tree.

No, God can still exist--the tree nourishes other life when it dies, becoming part of many more living things. It gives bugs a place to live, fertilizes other plants...who knows what else?
So, when a tree dies, it really doesn't die--it just changes form. I imagine that God would do the same.

Some believe that God exists in all things living. When the tree dies, another thing is born, Life always continues. God, according to the logistics, cannot die, but can continue in the living.

Does the tree die? How many trees have been formed from the first one? Thanks to the little squirrellies in my yard one tree can produce so many more. Usually in my flower beds which means a lot more work for me. I'm not really sure how God is proven by a tree.

I just find that concept that I need to explain natural things by unnatural causes to be silly. Good question, Sean. The arguments they use fail to answer the basic question as to why it is necessary to posit a God in the first place. What makes the existence of a god necessary as an explanation for anything?

Death and dying are temporal concepts - seen from outside the human linear perception of time, that tree plays a fixed role in space and time, a role that is, in the non-temporal sense, permanent. At the space and time coordinates of that tree, the tree is always reliably found there.
Too many people are caught up in human perceptions of time. Time does not have an arrow, and the laws of physics apply equally in either direction. It is only human perception - our subjective impression of time - that makes it seem directional.

tree just changes form, not really dies. trees grow against gravity, that's inspiring considering they don't have opposable thumbs like us humanes. as it grows above so it grows below. the branches and the roots. dead down wood turns into soil where seedlings can take root. cant forget about the tiny bugs, fungi, the bird that lands on it to catch the bug.....etc. just a change in physical manifestation.

I don't need an immortal tree. I have faith.
