What is the Gaia Theory?

How did the Gaia theory became accepted?

  • I was reading something on the Gaia theory and how Lovelock came up with this theory... but i was wondering how did his theory became accepted??? after so many years scientist ...show more

  • Answer:

    The GAIA 'theory" is NOT a scientific theory at all. It has no evidence , no experiements to test falsifiability,etc. Because some people or even many people BELIEVE something does not make it true. Science has never been a democracy and as Carl Sagan so elegantly stated " extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence ". Before scientific enlightenment, nearly all persons believed the earth was flat, and the center of the Universe, and that demons caused disease. LIke CSI..in the final analysis....belief matters not..what matters is PROOF...what does the evidence say

It is not a theory, not a scientific theory. It is at best a hypothesis. It has never been tested scientifically. Therefore it has NEVER been accepted. It fits right in there with Creation and or Intelligent Design.

Because: "Truth will first be ridiculed, then violently opposed, and finally accepted as self -evident" and "It is never a question of belief; the only scientific attitude one can take on any subject is whether it is true. The law of gravitation worked as efficiently before Newton as after him. The cosmos would be fairly chaotic if its laws could not operate without the sanction of human belief."
