Sun Earth Dynamics and Smoot's Parallax

the sun is alive
the earth is dead

Mr. Smoot stated during his "Design of the universe" lecture while discussing the complexities thereof: "... now we're in for some serious play, that is , we have to seriously play God, not just change peoples lives, but make the universe, right, so if that's your responsibility how are you going to do that?"

I am no astrophysicist but it is quite clear to me that anything as complex as the sun, which is responsible for the sustaining of life on earth is filled with intrinsic life energy and is organic. The earth, on the other hand, has no ability to sustain its own life structures and therefore would qualify an inorganic. An although we as human beings think that we are alive, comparatively, we are quite dead. For, if the sun were to disappear we would instantly evaporate into nothing. So, I think that it is safe to say that the sun is more alive than we are. Yet, we make such large boastful pronouncements about all that we think we know when all that we know points to how little we truly understand.

"We have to seriously play God, not just change lives" sounds like a judgmental statement intended to debunk the belief that changing lives is a limited function of a simplistic earth centered reality. I disagree. The universe clearly gives signs and seasons that if observed and understood change lives and changes phenomenon.
