Conversation With a 6-Year-Old: Messianic Edition

A (to a friend): I can make a maple tree grow without a seed.

This is the same kid who said the following, when he was 3:

J: Mom, who is God?
Me: Well, that's a good question. Some people believe that God is an all-powerful being, who created everything in the universe.
J: Why do people believe that?
Me: Well, think about it. People can make a lot of things, but there are so many things in the world that people can't make. So, people over time have looked at the oceans, the mountains, the big trees, the rain and the snow, the rainbows, all the animals and fish, and birds, and they've thought, "wow! I can't imagine being powerful enough to make all those things! Somebody must have made them. Who could have done it?"

(long pause)

A: It was me!
