If that's true, then how do you explain how a seedling can turn into a huge 200ft tall redwood tree?

Things create itself all the time. It's LIFE!
You are mistaken. That seedling fell off a 200ft Redwood to begin with. Then you're back to the age-old question, what came first, the chicken or the egg?

The Big Bang states that all the matter and energy in our Universe was condensed into a singularity, which exploded at one point. But no Astronomist can tell you what came before, or how the matter was created. Simply, 'it always was', and that means it's eternal, and that means it's "God." It might not be the Christian or Catholic definition of "God", but it's still a higher power or force. Without it, life makes no sense.

Keep in mind, everything you see isn't really what's there. Atoms, the very essence you are made of, are a complete mystery to us. Normal physics don't apply in the subatomic world.
