Many types of trees have evolved to survive forest fires. Fire is part of the natural environment of forests, typically started by lightening strikes after a dry spell. It's actually good for these types of trees, helps them grow. https://www.nationalforests.org/our-forests/your-national-forests-magazine/how-trees-survive-and-thrive-after-a-fire

First of all, trees did not evolve by a process of dumb natural forces but were created by God. Secondly, it is not good for people that fires sweep through urban areas and is not good for the trees that are growing in that environment.

A full and honest investigation should be done so the people know the actual cause of these fires that are burning neighborhoods.

The largest wildfire in New Mexico's state history, which happened this year (2022), was started by the government. The trees kept burning, one after another. Your so-called evolution idea fails there, too. It was almost impossible to stop the forests from burning.

How do you know that trees were created by a god?

Trees predated god's by several hundred million years

Like you, I believe it. You also speak as if you believe that trees designed themselves, while there is no scientific evidence for that. Part of the scientific method requires for proof that the occurrence be observable. But you were not around to observe the evolution of the tree over millions of years, were you? So, if you think it is true, you believe what other people told you, and they did not observe evolution of the tree either.

The teachings of Jesus Christ are the only explanation for our existence that makes sense. Our purpose is to love God and love each other, not wage senseless wars to kill our fellow man. Because I believe that Jesus is the truth, I believe his explanations for the origin of all life. And you also believe something without being able to scientifically prove it.

How do you know the bible isn't mythology invented by humans?

How do you know that evolution is not a lie created by evil in high places with the sole purpose to break the faith in a God who loves them and fights for them? If the evil side can convince people there is no God they would stop praying against their evil plans. And without Jesus, the Savior, all men would become slaves to the enemy. And the Bible tells us the end from the beginning. As we see the prophecies fulfilled, we gain faith that God's word is true.

I don't "know" anything, however, evolution makes sense, it hasn't been disproven, and there's plenty of evidence. There is no evidence for a global conspiracy that evolution is a lie to convince people not to believe in God. There is no evidence that the bible was written by anyone besides humans.

So while I don't know which is actually true, it's only reasonable that I'll live with the assumption that the former is much more likely to be true and the latter highly likely to be false.

It is good for you to be humble and truthful and admit you do not know which is the absolute truth. Evolution does not make sense to me, although I once believed that lie.

Years ago I downloaded a computer program that tried to create random creatures, to see how evolution would work if the design of the creatures was left to blind chance, but rewarding those creatures that reached certain goals with the opportunity to reproduce. It was using the idea of "survival of the fittest". Well, the creatures created were deformed and never evolved into anything complex. The project was a flop and abandoned by its creators. Evolution was not shown to be true at all using computer simulations over millions of simulated generations.

When we hear about man making things like the COVID shots, we are reminded that man now edits the code of life, creating mRNA even for COVID, by cutting and pasting genetic material. But these COVID shots did not make themselves over millions of years of evolution, but were created in a lab by pharmaceutical companies and their scientists. Functional genetic material must have a creator, someone to write the code.

Humans did not create themselves. To me now, it is obvious, that we are fearfully and wonderfully made, and that Creator we call God, but I know him by his name, and I have heard him speak to me directly since I turned away from my sins. I am thankful that Jesus allows any of us, even the worst of sinners, to come to him and receive his salvation. He is mankind's greatest Friend, and whoever calls on his name shall be saved. But here comes the evolution lie to try to break that faith. Our enemy knows that is our only defence: faith in our Savior. One call on his name can make an eternal difference.

As humans we all seek answers to the universal questions, why are we here? Where did we come from? For me the concept of god can never answer these fundamental questions, as it begs the even greater question, who or what created god?

Also, we don't have close to the technology to simulate the world, to demonstrate evolution as it may have happened on earth. But evolutionary self organization of smaller parts to create "creatures" of greater complexity through mutation has been done.

why are we here?

We are here to take a test of free will. Your choices here determine your destiny in eternity.

Where did we come from?

We came forth from God's creative power. God is love. Our fundamental nature is also love. We are being tested to see how we love and what we love.

who or what created god?

God has always existed, without beginning or end.

The more questions you will ask in sincerity, the more God will teach you. He knows all of your thoughts and nothing you do or say is hidden from him. If you want the truth, he will reveal it to you in the form he chooses. If you do not want the truth, you will remain in darkness.

Ken Ham's school of lobotomised nonsense, ladies and gentlemen.
