The evolutionist scientist
Lovelock, who proposed the
idea that the planet earth was a
living thing, stated that he was
inspired by Gaia, the earth
goddess of Greek mythology.

origin of this belief is in the view that everything is somehow divine,
that inanimate matter is possessed of intelligence and will, and that it
is capable of making decisions and implementing them.
In the Qur’Œn, AllŒh speaks of those who worship other than Him

and make gods for themselves of idols. He describes the struggle
between His prophets and such people. One of the pagan
communities mentioned in the Qur’Œn is that of Abraham:

As stated in this verse, Abraham's father and tribe fashioned
lifeless, powerless statues with their own hands and accepted them as
gods. They worshipped them and supposed they could fulfill their
needs, cure their illnesses, and give them hardship or blessing.
