When you were born, did you arrive upon the earth, or spring from the earth?

Question

Do you think that it is any different for prairie dogs, zucchinis, and chimpanzees?

How does your faith effect your answer?

What impact does your answer have on your sense of relationship to the earth and our environment?

Answer 1

I am one of the earth. I was born into the same world as the religious nut jobs but I realize that me, you, the other living things on earth and the earth itself are all part and parcel. We are all intertwined. So there!

Answer 2

I hatched from a pod that had grown out of a weathered granite boulder. I guess you could say I sprang from the earth. Its much different from prairie dogs and chimpanzees....but not zucchinis. My plant worshiping faith definitely affects my answer. I believe that plants are superior life forms. I definitely believe that its important to take care of the earth and promote the production of planty perfection.

Answer 3

just when I thought I was deep, you prove to me there are others asking deep questions........if I am understanding your q correctly, I would say that I arrived upon the Earth via my mother, of course. My faith doesn't affect this answer very much because I see it equally as a matter of fact, that I arrived boilogically through another human being instead of coming out of the ground like a tree.

Answer 4

I am of Carbon based origin and not of another planet. So that would make me a Mother Earth organtic form! ; )
...in both physical & spiritual.

Answer 5

Arrived on it. Our society "uses" the earth and does not look at it as part of us. I am, unfortunatly, a product of my environment...but recognize it and try to see it the other way around...when it's convenient.

Answer 6

I don't know. I was just a baby when it happened.

Answer 7

You don't get out much, do you?
