  1. There is a theory about Gaia, which far extends our
    knowledge of the Gaia Hypothesis (named for Gaia, Greek
    Goddess of Earth) as well as our knowledge of Evolution. It
    cuts to the very foundation of our understanding, and brings
    us enormous possibilities for a future that is beyond our
    wildest dreams.

    Here's the URL
    conceivia.comgaia greek god.htm

    For those who are unfamiliar with the Gaia Hypothesis (named
    for Gaia, Greek Goddess of Earth) it was introduced in
    Russia first, about a hundred years ago, then again about 50
    years later in English speaking countries. Each time
    spawning new religions, which were fairly large considering
    they were spawned by scientific theories. There are almost
    1/10th as many searches for the word "Gaia" as there are
    for the word "God". If you are unfamiliar with the Gaia
    Hypothesis (named for Greek Goddess of Earth), don't
    worry, there is a short introduction to Gaia in this,
    just read on.

    The name Gaia, was given by James Lovelock wrote a book
    called Gaia named after the Greek Goddess of Earth, that
    examines the possibility of life itself being in control of
    its own environment. I read the book, Gaia after watching an
    interview, shown as a tribute to him, after he died. It was
    a truly fascinating interview.

    In the interview, James Lovelock sited as an inspiration for
    Gaia, that NASA asked him to figure out what to look for as
    signs of life on another planet. Basically, what James
    Lovelock discovered, was that the Earth or Gaia (or actually
    all life on Earth), was in control of its own environment.
    This prompted many to believe that Gaia was a living thing,
    although James Lovelock did not believe this.

    Highlife Theory describes a new type of lifeform. Not only
    Gaia, but many others as well. It is a whole new
    understanding of life. It shows that Gaia is not only in
    deliberate and intentional control of the whole Earth's
    environment, but Gaia is also is self aware and extremely
    intelligent.

    There are many misunderstandings of Gaia theory, but just
    to rectify one immediate error here -- James Lovelock
    looked very healthy and distinctly alive when I last saw
    him last Saturday, having been at a workshop that he
    organised for 3 days.

    If you do a Google news search for him you will find that
    he has been very publicly active and in the news in
    recent weeks.

    Wow, you're right! For some reason when I watched the
    interview, I ended up thinking it was filmed earlier and
    shown after he died as a tribute to him. It didn't even
    sink in, when I saw that he had several books written
    after the one I read. 'Course, I didn't look at the
    published dates though, but those books were written after
    I thought he died.

    Anyway, I edited that out. Sorry about that error, and
    thanks for pointing it out.

    Could you do me a huge favor. Any chance you could send the
    URL to James Lovelock, so he can read it? I'd really like to
    see what he thinks of Highlife Theory.

    Here's the Highlife Theory URL again,

    Inman, I've just taken a look at the web page given by
    tbondhus. The first sentence says something about
    scientific evidence for the existence of God. That was
    enough for me to conclude that tbondhus whishes Locelock
    dead and God alive :-)
