But the maple tree produces more maple trees.

Show me any two maple trees that are exactly alike (outside of a Korean cloning lab). Slight variations occur all the time. Some favorable, some not. As conditions change, the variations that meet these new conditions are the ones that survive more readily, which accounts for different types of maples in different climates. Given time and enough change in conditions, variations may go far enough that the latest generation no longer resembles the original, but it is the result of gradual change, not instantaneous jump in speciation. Your argument about a maple producing an oak is disingenuous, as even the most devoutly atheistic evolutionist will agree that such leaps do not take place.

However, these devout atheists have no problem assuming they descended from ape-like creatures yet don't believe a maple tree could evolve into an oak tree.
