Why are we so interested in: “if God cares for nature and animals?” Have we as Christians made God known to all nations? Do we have more time on hands to spread the gospel to animals and other creatures than human? In addition, I could not find in the entire Bible a verse that says God so loved the world that He gave His son that any animal that believes in Him would not perish. Remember that the Great Commission was not to take care of nature or animals around us but to feed my sheep. Those perishing souls are dying without Christ and we (are) wasting His time and resources in nonsense issues. Guys, maybe you are right. But let us put our priorities in order. May God help us to use our minds that He gave us in the best way to serve Him and Him alone.
