[quote:DGN:MV8xOTA2MTg2XzMxODcyNTM3XzgxREYyNkY4] [quote:Anonymous Coward 17884534:MV8xOTA2MTg2XzMxODcxNDg1XzlGNTI1QkM2] Who is Chuck? By the way, "science" cannot explain in even the faintest way how trees lift water so high. Do you have any idea how powerful of a pump you would need to lift the amount of water a tree uses to that kind of height? It's called "head" and don't forget, the water doesn't come from ground level. A 300 foot tree probably has close to a 300 foot taproot as well. So it's lifting a LOT of water about 500 feet. It would take at least a ten hp pump. That's a LOT of head, there. How does the tree do it? "Scientists" are still baffled. As usual. [/quote] One thing is for sure though...it surely couldn't be by divine design.... it had to just luckily happen billions of times/trees in a row.... :charlie: [/quote]

How do suppose they draw water up 300' if their God given design for raising water glitched Chuck? Can you draw water up 300' simply by means of evaporation?
