Assunto: Re: Earth is always referred to in the feminine manner...by you.
Pedro Martínez: Most creation stories refer to the Earth as being feminine. For eg the Maori creation story refers to the sky being Father and the Earth being Mother.
In Judaism the Adam is formed out of the Adamah "אדםה" which is the female form of ground. And as far as I've always been taught, it is right and only proper to refer to Earth as "Mother Earth"
And no, maybe stopping the pollutants may not stop natural variations in the Earth's weather... But It'll reduce our impact.
