people claim Devils Tower is the stump of a giant tree

trees that were thousands of feet tall are now petrified and called basalt and climbed 

many consipiraxy theories some based from resembling a stump and some from the bible when trees grew to heaven, ten to hundreds of miles tall trees

so many videos on this giant tree stump theory

But like.... Also the real science already exists?

These videos have the Ancient Aliens lingo down pat, every one is purely comprised of speculative questions and several undercut their own premise. Could they be trees? Science says no, but what if???

“Perhaps I'm old and tired, but I think that the chances of finding out what's actually going on are so absurdly remote that the only thing to do is to say, "Hang the sense of it," and keep yourself busy. I'd much rather be happy than right any day.” -Slartibartfast

Science and logic isn't really a thing with the masses. They will believe anything. It's pathetic. 

Note: I stole this explanation from "David from Minnesota" who may even frequent these forums. Have climbed DT many times. When a tourist asks "what's at the top" I always tell them animatedly in a midwestern accent, "Yeah, ya know it's hollow as a rotten log up there!!! There's a lake in the top, but we never hauled up the scuba gear to get to the bottom!....Yet!"

I suspect this is how the tree stump theory started.

People also claim the Earth is flat.  Act accordingly.

Forget the tree…it’s that giant bear that concerns me.  

It actually IS... the Devil's.... tower. It's irrefutable.

If it was a tree.... Who cut it down??

All I know Is I know nothing at all.

All we can do is speculate on certain science anomaly’s . One day the aliens of our future will speculate what we have destroyed and left behind wondering “ what it was for and what was it and bound to get something wrong to” 

Could of been a UFO landing pad built for the star people for all we know. 

The real debate is whether the climbing was better before or after the bear scratched all those column features into the rock.

We also have literal photo evidence of the giant bear (from https://www.nps.gov/deto/learn/historyculture/first-stories.htm)

So both are probably true.

Those Indians are huge!!

You left out this bit: “That's why we don't hammer in spikes here like you see them do on TV. The Park Service is afraid we'll bang 'em in too deep and drain the damn thing!"

[From a 1984 Climbing Magazine article]

Is it possible that the Tower identifies as a tree.

Ah yes, the Bible. What other proof do you need then?

Most people who believe science don’t really understand it
