I would say so. Earth would be "gēs" (rev 21) (from which we get "gaia") and creation is "ktisis", but these are overlapping terms. In Roman 8:18-26 ktisis certainly means earth, and new creation/new earth are sort of paired in messianic belief. The phrase "new creation" from 2cor 5 somewhere, centers on a creaturely life being made new, in particular.
Kurio was crazy and loved everyone. Definitely would have rocked out with The Who.
Is "new creation" equivalent to "new earth?"
