Is the Earth a Living Thing?

I don't think a rock is living. So do you think there mustn't be els? A single cell is living? I mean, i guess, according to the bthe other biological definition of living, yes. But, i mean, you know what? There are so many bacterias living in and around and on us that are sustaining us entirely. And ifThat eco system of other species that are living within us gets messed up, we get messed up. The earth is in some way similar ent any equi system, is a living thing. It's different from just rock and water or to physical objects that are hitting each other.
