Who, looking at an acorn, would know that it had an oak in it? And acorn bears little resemblance to an oak after all.

The Church has had almost 2k years to grow. A body of around 1,000,000,000 members is bound to look different from body of at most a few tens of thousands of members. But it may not be reasonable to rely on appearances.

But an Oak Tree still has Acorn DNA in it.

Not so...The oak tree produces more little acorns...Your oak tree grows bananas...Thanks God, there are still oak trees that produce acorns...
