"Faith Alone" can not be "The Way"

Divine influence is not that the object on which the influence is exerted is divine itself.

There may be a fine line here, but no, I don't think that the ultimate source is the earth, though we may still be receiving blessings through it.
The earth by itself doesn't have any love for us but God loves us so makes the earth better than it naturally would be, so it may be one big divinely blessed object.

Yes, that's an agreeable statement.

I will agree with that, ultimately the earth is nothing more than a rock that exists solely for our benefit.
