Sorry about that, I was so tired I could hardly keep my eyes open!
The (very basic) study that I have madde of Gaia really makes sense to me; however, the book I read (by a friend of James Lovelock - can't think of his name right now) makes it clear that Gaia is just a scientific theory. As a theory it really holds water for me.
It informs my faith because it answers a few questions that I have. For example, Darwin's theory of evolution has the 'survival of the fittest' idea running through it, which is imcompatible with the Christian understanding of concern for the lowest. The Gaia model shows that in fact the successful survivors are those who co-operate, and find ways to live together.
The other way it helps my faith is simply that it makes me even more in awe of our beautiful world and how interconnected everything is, and how important it is that we look after every little bit of it, not shutting our eyes to the damage we do, but recognising that the smallest thing that we do has an impact on our planet. (Not that I manage to live up to this!)
Sleepyjess, as a Christian I would say that God does have a 'requirement' of us, but it's not a difficult one. He requires us to love. To love him, and love others. When we try to do this, we find harmony and peace. God is continually reminding us of this - he/she wants to be in a relationship wit hus because he/she loves us, and so we get continual reminders every day of this... a beautiful sunset, our child's smile. He/She also promts us to love others - you know, the sudden idea that we might get to ring a friend we haven't seen for ages, or to give some time to charity.
