Gd could of course do whatever - we live each moment with Gds perpetuating the world. BUt we also have free choice, and without it, what good is human existence? We would be nothing more than computers doing the will of the programmer, and then life would lack meaning. And other stuff. Forgive me - I have not eaten in many many hours. The healing I am talking about is a spiritual healing. The Planet cannot do that itself. Alex – its a good question.

Pardon me for this silly question, but if there is in fact, a g-d, who created the heavens and the earth, can't he/she magically heal it with the snap of his/her fingers. Besides, humans overstate our effect on earth. We're just one tiny part of its system, and it's been able to heal itself for millions of years, long before we were here. Thanks Rabbi.
