Was the first Bristlecone Pine created with all it’s rings?
Or just one?
I was created “of its kind” ie. with enough genetic information to allow it to evolve to deal with an ever changing environment. Not random mutation. I think all the useful genetic information that ever has or ever will exist has been there from the beginning in the biosphere.
Now I see your what you meant. With all its rings would be my answer.
all it’s rings

Fun fact.
Some ‘ facts’ aren’t.
Tree rings, 1 per year, myth.
As a silviculturist, I learned that trees can have more than 1 growth cycle/ ring in a year.
a tree can sometimes make two growth rings in a season if conditions are very dry in the early part of the year followed by heavy rains in the summer and a late fall.
“Scientists” play the same game with ice melt layers to gauge time.
The layers are freeze thaw cycles, and that can happen multiple times in one day.
Same game with erosion / depth to determine age of dirt.
Their errosion rate was based on a study of niagrafalls , and that estimated amount of errosion per year has since been shown to be way off.
