"The Gaia hypothesis was
eagerly accepted by the emerging new age movement in the 1970s as it
combines neatly with eastern mysticism and neopagan theology, but
'science' was needed to convince biologists. For these people, Gaia
was made palatable by Lovelock's Daisyworld model, a mathematical
and scientific theory designed to refute the criticisms of
Darwinism. Just as evolution eliminates the need for a divine
creator, the Daisyworld model provided a theory of evolving life on
earth that incorporates natural selection with a sentient lifeforce.
It eliminates a personal yet separate God, and makes humans a part
of the divine spirit that is Gaia"

"The fate of mankind, as
well as of religion, depends upon the emergence of a new faith in
the future. Armed with such a faith, we might find it possible to
resanctify the earth" [Al Gore, Earth in the Balance, quoted
at: source].
"The earth is literally
our mother, not only because we depend on her for nurture and
shelter but even more because the human species has been shaped by
her in the womb of evolution... Our salvation depends upon our
ability to create a religion of nature"
[Rene Dubos, board member,
Planetary Citizens, quoted at:

"Nature is my god. To
me, nature is sacred; trees are my temples and forests are my
cathedrals" [Mikhail Gorbachev, Green Cross International, quoted
at: source].
"[T]he basic premise
behind many of these green transformation groups is that 'modern
humans' [have] rebelled and become separated from Nature, and we
must return and once again become part of the 'great commonwealth of
Gaia' (to use [James] Lovelock's words). To many promoting the green
agenda this is their religion. It is not about science or
environmental protection - it is about implementing their form of
New Age religion" [source].
"Little by little a
planetary prayer book is thus being composed by an increasingly
united humanity seeking its oneness. Once again, but this time on a
universal scale, humankind is seeking no less than its reunion with
'divine', its transcendence into higher forms of life. Hindus call
our earth Brahma, or God, for they ... see no difference between our
earth and the divine. This ancient simple truth is slowly dawning
again upon humanity, as we are about to enter our cosmic age and
become what we were always meant to be: the planet of god"
[Robert
Muller, former UN Assistant Secretary General and Chancellor of the
UN University for Peace, quoted at
source].
"The feminist movement
has also warmly embraced the concept of a Gaia Goddess. For many of
these proponents, an integral part of Goddess worship is its
prevalent theme of anti-masculine, anti-male statements. In this
philosophical world-view, since Goddess worship is good, then by
necessity, any use of masculine terminology in reference to God or
any prominence of men in culture or society is generally
discouraged" [source].
"The Earth Charter
stresses that man is his own saviour. By saving 'Mother Earth' we
will once again return to an idyllic Garden of Eden and redeem our
tarnished souls. But instead of worshipping the true Creator, the
Global Green Agenda seeks to plunge us headlong into an
earth-worship new world religion. They are only waiting for 'the
right crisis' after which they surmise that humanity will gladly
sell their souls for the kind of world that the Earth Charter
promises" [source].
"Gaians claim that 'we
are part of Nature and Nature is part of us, therefore God is part
of us, and God is everywhere, and everything is God'. In reality
Gaia is actually a revival of the 'Earth-goddess' found in many
ancient pagan religions. The current Gaia Cult is a cunning mixture
of science, paganism, eastern mysticism, wicca and feminism. While
researching this subject I have been astounded by how many prominent
environmental leaders, politicians, scientists, and religious
leaders profess a literal belief in Gaia. Gaians appear to have
infiltrated every level of power at the United Nations and risen to
prominent positions in many Governments. I strongly believe that
they are the most dangerous and devious cult on the face of the
planet" [source].
"Gaia worship is at the
very heart of the Global Green Agenda. Sustainable Development,
Agenda 21, the Earth Charter, and the Global Warming theory are all
part of the Gaians' mission to save 'Mother Earth' from her human
infestation. Gaians have succeeded in uniting the environmental
movement, the new age movement, Eastern religions, the United
Nations and even the leaders of many Christian denominations behind
this vile new form of paganism"
[source].
"Environmentalism has
over the last two decades perverted itself to the point where it's
become a pseudo religion, a cult worshipping the almighty god Gaia,
who must be protected from the innate evil of humanity. When it
comes down to a choice between us and Gaia, the cultists are quite
prepared to sacrifice us on the altar of their beliefs. Let malaria
kill millions of peoples yearly in the developing world, even though
we could eradicate it there like we did in our world, with DDT. Let
people die of starvation because we've switched from growing staples
to bio fuel crops; it's to protect Gaia after all. Let other human
beings live in the cold and darkness because we don't think they
should have disease resistant bioengineered crops, though we do.
It's all about returning the Kingdom of Gaia, that's to say the
Earth, to some balanced state that actually never was but it's the
cult's version of Heaven. ... To achieve it, the whole of humanity
is ultimately seen as expendable
[EMcD: We believe the earth was
in a balanced state before
the Fall of
man in the garden of Eden, and this perfect earth is what the
Environmentalists (and New Agers) are trying to return to, but they
fail to understand that this will never be achieved by man; the
earth will only be redeemed back to its originally created perfect
state when the Lord Jesus returns and
renews all things].
... Two decades ago I was an environmentalist but not today. Today I
hate it and believe that fighting it should be the moral imperative
of our generation. What little good it now does is far outweighed by
its crimes against humanity. It kills the most vulnerable of us, so
we must kill it stone dead"
[source].
"Since social media in
the form of Facebook and Twitter became ubiquitous tools of the
chatterati, earth Hour has become an increasingly surreal affair.
Every gurning trustafarian with an internet connection decides,
without fail and without irony, to post pictures of themselves sat
like complete idiots in the dark. ... They conspicuously consume
even whilst supposedly going without because they simply have to
tell you, their friends, the world about about the incredible
sacrifice they are making. ... Remember, if you are going to live by
the monitor's light, be sure to do important work like
tweeting about it. And most importantly, take a photo of yourself
tweeting with candles in order to show ... how committed you
are! Remember - it is crucial for your own self esteem to be seen
to be doing something, no matter how ineffectual"
