This world is not ours

You take a *huge* logic leap when you say that humans are like "visitors in a house" and thus cannot lay claim to any part of Earth because it would be like a visitor laying claim to someone else's house. Are their correlations between the two ideas? Of course, but you can't say that they are completely equivalent to each other.

Man was created among other animals . We are just one kind of animal among other ones . We didn't create this Earth . Thus we have no moral right to own it .
Besides , Man was created by Nature , we come from it . Thus we belong to it , we belong to a kind of family ( that is animal and vegetable kingdom ). You cannot both belong to a family and own it . Either you own something or you belong to it .

The analogy further breaks down because if humans are the "visitors" on this "house" (i.e. Earth), then who owns the house? Not everyone believes in God, so that is therefore an unacceeptable answer if you're trying to apply this to the entire human race. I argue that if no one owns a house, it is absolutely morally acceptable to move in and lay claim it as your own as the "visitor".

It belongs to itself as a living entity . Nature is like a living being made of an infinity of living beings . It is what we call "ecosystem" .

For your answer, look to "Nature" itself and dispense with the analogies. Every living creature on this planet fights to protect its territory, mating rights, food source, etc. Any creature that didn't have a concept of land ownership would be destroyed and go extinct. It is not morally wrong to try and survive.

Animals don't have free will . They are not aware of their existence , I doubt that they can catch any concept of ownership of land . They rather obey their will to live . Any animal will fight to stay alive , but not for the ground on which it stands .
