It's just you are not at a level of understanding 'what a tree is'.

Here is the full quote from Carl Sagan:


"Congealing and warming, the Earth released the methane, 
ammonia, water and hydrogen gases that had been trapped 
within, forming the primitive atmosphere and the first oceans." --Carl
Sagan

'methane, ammonia, water and hydrogen' come from a 'tree'.


In layman's terms, The tree formed 
the primitive atmosphere and the first oceans.

For example: ammonia comes from the leaf that fell on the ground and
decayed.

I could go on and on but it would be...perpetual. 

You're just going to have to learn about methane and hydrogen on your
own.

I no longer teach at Harvard.

you're going to have to...read a book.

The Starmaker -- To question the unquestionable, ask the unaskable,
to think the unthinkable, mention the unmentionable, say the unsayable, 
and challenge the unchallengeable.
