Biology Gaia Theory


     I love the Gaia Theory.  I don't see this as a theory, I see this as a philosophy.  This resonates with the Native American philosophy of all things are connected.  I believe that there will be a point of correction when the Earth will self correct.  That might mean earthquakes, tidal waves, fires....somehow, she will take care of herself.  Just like any mother, she has to take care of herself before she can take care of anything else.
