Earth ,A Living Organism?

Hindu Mythology calls The Earth as Prithvi and it is also one of the Five Elements-Pancha Butas-Eart,Water,Fire,Air and Ether.

All these entities are Living Organisms.

This again depends on what we define as an Organism.

If an Organism defined as 'one that has an Origin,Growth ,Decay and Death'-then Earth is an Organism

If we add Consciousness to this list, the answer is then Earth is 'we do not know' as we have not really found what Consciousness is.

I do not think this is sound Logic.

There is a probability that Life might have evolved through some other process of which we know nothing.

The building block of Life may be different from what is found on Earth.

Taking these facts into consideration I feel that we are not alone and that right now we lack the technology and skills to track it.
