can you provide me some reasons that why we we consider that earth is dead .
If I remember correctly, living things have to do 5 things to be considered living:
- reproduce
- eat
- expel waste
- respond to stimuli
- regulate their own body
These could be wrong as I've not done biology since school
The Earth doesn't reproduce (I've seen no baby Earth's around...), eat, expel waste or respond to stimuli. It kind of regulates itself (as do many complex systems). In short, the Earth does not fulfil all the criteria for being alive. The fact that it's composed of minerals (by definition inorganic, regular arrangements of molecules) also points to the fact that it's not alive. It doesn't grow (expand or shrink). It's been here for 4.6 billion years (or 4,600,000,000 years), as have the rest of the planets in this solar system. In short, it's a sphere of rock, floating in space, with a thin coating of life on the surface (or top few hundred kms).
Please, read some reputable webpages - you've been given plenty of links on this forum, in other fora and by email by lot's of people - go read them. Absorb and understand. Your "theory" is incorrect and has no basis in evidence other than vague coincidences and spurious observations. Really, I've been a geologist for 14+ years, have read the books you haven't, and have spent > 6 years doing geological research. Trust my expert opinion (you should be glad of this, it usually costs a lot of money to get such an opinion!) - your theory is incorrect.
