The book “Gaia: A new look at life on earth”, written by J. ... Lovelock, introduces a new- age religion represented by the Gaia hypothesis. According to the Gaia hypothesis, the physical and chemical state of the terrestrial surface is not a set of accidental conditions, but a dynamic equilibrium, called homoeostasis, which is generated and maintained by life itself to match its needs; Gaia.
James Lovelock discovered Gaia from outer space. ... He named that being Gaia, after the Greek goddess, which drew the living world forth from chaos.
According to the Gaia hypothesis, the history of life on earth has been a progressive modification of the planets chemistry and temperature by biological organisms to enhance their own flourishing. ... Gaia’s self -balancing act is still at work today. ... This behavior is a clear and present long-term danger to Gaia’s self-sustaining balancing process. ... There is an extremely long list of human activities, which have adverse effects on our environment, but Gaia views the only true pollution as people. ...
The Gaia theory has received much criticism worldwide. To its opposition, Gaia is a revival of Paganism that rejects Christianity, considers Christianity its biggest enemy, and views the Christian faith as its only obstacle to a global religion centered on Gaia worship and the uniting of all life forms around the goddess of "Mother Earth". ...
Personally, the Gaia religion makes perfect sense.
