Why why? Isn't it enough to know what? You are lucky to know that
much.
There are fish in the river if you wish, and rabbits in the field.
But keep milk in the refrigerator or your wife will accuse you of not
caring for your child.

Although it can come loaded with potential straight from the sun and

In that case you get to chose your favorite theory. But that does not
discount the usefulness of theorying.

I recommend that you do not say that.

There is far less confusion if when it becomes necessary to talk about
a tree
or
trees
or
a forest
We know these differences, it is not necessary to confuse yourself.

And huge chunks of rock, which is not nothing.

The universe does appear to be going no where. It is not necessary
therefore to be confused about it.

More important than earth peopling with humans and trees is the use
they can make of each other. We have no real knowledge of this
peopling thingy, but it is nice to talk about on a rainy afternoon,
when use of trees has been made to create shelter and warmth from
fires.
