I want to point out that within Christianity there is not 100% agreement regarding the understanding of soul and spirit.
Gen 2:7 Adam became a living being or living soul, animals are also referred to as souls in
Gen 1:21,30
Gen 2:19
Thus to judge something as 'alive' which has this life because of the spirit of God. Well I don't think we should be so quick to discredit the view some might have regarding the earth as something living.
Does not Gen 1:2 say God's spirit moved over the surface of the earth?
One way we know something is alive is if it can die. Can the earth die?
Ah now we say the rocks will not die, but I think we agree the whole great collective of life on earth could die.
Is not man made from the dust of the earth?
So is not man and all other living beings the 'earth' made alive into souls?
