Speaking of perception, have you noticed that all living things - plants included - have some ability to perceive?

Where humans have five senses (sight-eyes, sound-ears, smell-nose, taste-mouth, touch-fingers & etc.) how many does a plant have? And, in plants, what central control mechanism would correspond to brains found in animals?

The next time you pick a tomato, thank the plant.

I would think a plant does not have any ability to process the information other than in an involuntary response preprogammed manner.

Every time I pick a tomato, I thank God. The plant glorifies it’s Creator without hesitation.

If you have ever lived in a desert, you would know that the wildflowers that spring up for just a few weeks give glory to God with their whole heart, soul, mind, and strength. In their case “mind” is not native intelligence.
