Euuch... where did that code come from? ;)

Problems....

1. sphere{sphere doesn't make any sense - "sphere{" should be followed by a
position (e.g. <0,0,0> or just 0), and then a diameter

2. you've got two pigments applied to your sphere, and not in a good way

3. loads of other stuff...

K.I.S.S.

Make sure that earth_land.jpg is in the same directory as your scene file,
and try this code:

camera {
  location  <0.0, 0.0, -4.0>
  look_at   <0.0, 0.0,  0.0>
}

light_source {
  <0, 0, 0>            // light's position (translated below)
  color rgb <1, 1, 1>  // light's color
  translate <-30, 30, -30>
}

sphere{
 0,1
 pigment{image_map {jpeg "earth_land.jpg" map_type 1}}
 finish{diffuse 0.75 ambient 0.01}
}
