are like a disease to the earth. It's storms and what we call natural disasters are the earths way of fighting the disease and cleansing itself? Afterall the earth is a living thing and we, as humans are the only thing doing any harm to it.

We polluted the Earth, wiped out numerous species, and are exterminating rain forests.
OF COURSE we are like a disease to Earth.

Mankind is just as natural as the dinosaurs, and just as vulnerable. And while the biosphere can be considered alive, it is just pantheism to claim that it can consciously 'cleanse' itself of us. Also, why would it strike so randomly if this were so? Seems that tsunami would have done much more 'good' by hitting the Eastern Seaboard of the US rather than some primitive islands in the Pacific. that operate much as they did thousands of years ago!

Yes, on the earth point of view, we are harming the earth which sometimes alternatively changes it appearance to kill some creature and on the other hand to create another creature too.

We change the earth. Everything else changes the earth too. I think we are being egocentric to think that we have any permanent effect on the earth. The earth will be around long after we blow ourselves up.

Have you been watching the movie The Matrix? In the first Matrix movie, Agent Smith compares humanity with a virus, although the way he does it seems inconsistent with how viruses actually work.
