Lovelock was careful to present a version of the Gaia hypothesis that had no claim that Gaia intentionally or consciously maintained the complex balance in her environment that life needed to survive. It would appear that the claim that Gaia acts "intentionally" was a statement in his popular initial book and was not meant to be taken literally. This new statement of the Gaia hypothesis was more acceptable to the scientific community. Most accusations of teleologism ceased, following this conference. Some studies and spiritual practitioners, scientists, and the general consensus would probably be aware at some point or another that by an evolutionary perspective backed up by pluralistic cognition that the conceptualization of subjective belief is valid to the individual supposing their subjective needs while the world around them continues to proliferate said stability, while also recognizing the resources and objective science that would back up this 'hypothesis' as a genuine and quantifibale point regarding the colloquial and qualitative body, as well the quantitative and objective when looking at molecular, geological and biological compositions and bodies.
