I have to agree mightily with Tom Green's thoughts on Gaia and the human "condition".  To think that Life cares about mass extinctions is to not understand Life at all.  Gaia smells of the "just so" arguments of the "Rare Earth"ers and the various spiritualist musings.

Here's a book recommendation for this list group: 'Life Everywhere: the Maverick Science of Astrobiology" by David Darling, Basic Books, 2001.  Well researched, well written, well done.
