Really? Hmmmm..

Earth

I guess it depends on what you want to believe.


Not really. From your wiki link:
His initial hypothesis was that the biomass modifies the conditions on the planet to make conditions on the planet more hospitable – the Gaia Hypothesis properly defined this "hospitality" as a full homeostasis...

...This theory is based on the simple idea that the biomass self-regulates the conditions on the planet to make its physical environment (in particular temperature and chemistry of the atmosphere) on the planet more hospitable to the species which constitute its "life". The Gaia Hypothesis proper defined this "hospitality" as a full homeostasis. A simple model that is often used to illustrate the original Gaia Hypothesis is the so-called Daisyworld simulation.


As you can see from the above, the Gaia theory is, and has always been, a theory of action of the biomass (the "slime" I referred to,) and not the planet itself. It is the planet which is, of course, responsible for the formation of the island mentioned in this thread and thus the Gaia theory has absolutely no bearing on it.

Of course if you want to believe something (as you said,) you can. I don't believe in fairies or unicorns either.
