Gaia
A thought did occur to me on influences. I have always thought that the idea Asimov promoted about how we as a species went forth into the galaxy to colonize and develop civilizations to the point that our planet of origin became at first a memory, then a myth, then forgotten and totally lost in obscurity does seem to remind me of something... ... ....
I wonder if the Professor had a slight influence on the Doctor's premise, and how he developed that in the Foundation novels.
Of course, that idea begins with the earth becoming totally uninhabitable because of a nuclear war (there was a robotic twist that Ive forgotton - intentionally made that way or something..?). But, it also draws on the theme of Hope for mankind as well.
