Some Oak trees have large acorns,others, like the Pin Oak, has small (light brown 1/2") acorns.

Here's some Oaks that have small dark acorns:

The acorn of the Myrtle Oak (Quercus myrtlfolia) sometimes called shrubby oak,
is a small, ½", ovoid-shaped acorn with a saucer-shaped cap that covers 1/3 of the nut. Occasionally the acorns grow in pairs. The nuts have dark stripes and mature in two growing seasons.

Black oaks (Quercus velutina) have small acorns, only about ½ to ¾ inch long, with a bowl like cup. The edge of the acorn cup is slightly rough; the alternate, simple leaf is more deeply cut and shiny than that of the closely related red oak. Another characteristic is the yellow inner bark.

Black Oak acorns are brown when mature and ripen from late August to late October

Acorns of the Red Oak (Quercus borealis), (Quercus rubra) can be small or large ...They're 5/8 - 1 1/8" long; egg-shaped, less than 1/3 enclosed by broad cup of reddish-brown, blunt, tightly overlapping scales; maturing second year.
The acorns appear lighter in color than many of the other acorns I've listed here:

Live Oak (Quercus Virginiana) acorns are ¾" to 1" long, tapered and dark brown to black. These ripen in September and fall before December. They occur solitary or in clusters of three to five nuts.

Mostly osmosis, as well as the strength of hydrogen bonds in water, which is utterly amazing. Sounds like you're limiting God a lot to me; if he's all-powerful, then who's to say he didn't come up with the plan for the atoms, instead of the plan for the plants??? Time to learn some science - it DOESN'T clash with the possibility of a universal consciousness, no matter what some might tell you. The forces that created our universe are the same, regardless of what you call them, or how you study them. Religion and science are simply two different ways of looking at our existence, and they're certainly not the ONLY ones. Don't shut one or the other down on someone else's say-so; think for yourself, use the brain that God/the Universe/evolution gave you, and things will become clear.

Some kind of Oak. Pin oak maybe, or red. You can tell the variety from the leaves easier than from the acorns.
