Because what is being claimed about the Earth is pretty nonsensical. It's like saying that my coffee cup will change into a coke bottle if I leave it alone for long enough.

Does your coffee cup regularly give birth to little demi-tasse cups? If not, you might begin to think about why your analogy is flawed.

Depends on what your coffee cup is made of. If it's made of glass, and it's recycled, it could be turned into a coke bottle.

But your coffee cup isn't alive, and it doesn't reproduce, so it can't give birth to baby coke bottles.

Coffee cups and coke bottles are probably too distantly related, anyway.
