Default Why did God make trees to look like this? - July 14, 2010, 16:37

trees

I mean what is the point? Would it be so that people would see these trees and be pulled away to worship them? Seems kind of odd to me.

What are your thoughts? Any of you Bible thumpers can answer this question?

lol, I am assuming that you are joking.

The forms you see are your imagination at work. The shape of the trees are random, or a function of human manipulation.

I think the miracle of Photoshop is at play in some of these pictures.

The first one is a rather obvious shop, and especially so if you consider the structure tree would have had. I also suspect that the third image may have been modified, based on the difference in edges between the trunk and the "arm". The edges on the "arm" appear more jagged, as if it cropped and then inserted into the image, and there also seem to be more compression-artifacts there.
