Re: Look at this James Lovelock. He is a scientist that came up with Gaia Theory, basically the Earth is alive and regulates itself to keep it's inhabitants comfortable. en.wikipedia.org Actually, the link you referred me to states that it's called the "Gaia hypothesis" --- it doesn't even begin to rise to the level of a formal scientific "theory" yet... (probably because their is no proof for it yet! <GGG>) Anybody can have all the crazy 'hypothesis' that they WANT TO! I mean, I can state RIGHT NOW that I "hypothesize that you, Wayne Van Scoyoc, are a descendant of space aliens... originally seeded on this fair Earth... and now here to spy on everyone else, and to direct our evolution as a species. (Just kidding, Wayne! I'm sure you are completely human! <GGG>) But, without the presentation of some proof (actual peer-discoverable FACTS would be nice), it doesn't even begin to rise to the level of a formal "theory" in science. Making that WAY, WAY below anything that can be called a 'religion' I guess. (At least --- not any popular one! LOL!) I mean... if there are some folks out there who actually worship 'Mother Earth' (perhaps some remnants of pre-monotheistic religion) still running around... or perhaps followers of Mithra, or Zeus, or forest gnomes or something... well I'm pretty sure we could say they had 'religion'... but this other stuff seems to fall short.
