The world constantly changes, but that doesn't alter the fact that things are as they are in any given moment in time.

The tree may be gone tomorrow, chopped down, or it may last for hundreds of years, but that doesn't mean it's not solid and real, being what it is and doing whatever it does, for the duration that it exists.

The point being, the world cares not in the least what we believe about it. The world is what it is and does what it does regardless of our beliefs.

Of course, there are some who like make up, or adopt stories about the world, Allah is the Creator, Brahman manifests the world, Jesus is the Saviour....basing their beliefs not on how the world appears, or how it is, but what is written in old scrolls.

Their motive being, not to understand the world as it is, but to gain comfort from the meaning and the promises that are written on ancient parchment; eternal life, reward, being looked after by God.

Be that as it may, they can't be proven wrong and can only be proven right.
