Sorry, you are right with regards to rocks, but given that you believe
the Earth is sentient without given much in the way of reasons why and
your discussion below of this "force", I fail to see how you can
delineate between the Earth being sentient and a rock not being
sentient except in a arbitrary manner. As in, "I choose to label is
sentient, but that is not sentient."
