This earth is our provided host for life.

The earth itself is not alive. Everything living on this earth could die and the earth yet exist.


This earth is very much alive. Life does not stem from lifelessness. If this Earth were dead, you would not have life, for life cannot be sustained by that which is dead.

And yes of course, everything living on this earth could die and the earth yet exist, the Earth does not need us to sustain life but we do need Her to sustain ours.
