And so are animals too. I do not wholly agree with the Old Testament God's word to treat nature - subdue it. It doesn't agree with what Jesus did
on Earth - he spent time with the animals in the wilderness, he coexisted with nature, he didnot subdue it, even when tempted, even at the point of
death.
When Jesus commanded his disciples to preach the gospel to all creatures. I really think it has a literal meaning - we must love nature, plants and
animals too. Doesn't mean we have to talk to animals but they do understand love and hate. Animals could learn to love or hate depending on what
they see on their environment, and they could pass that concept back to humans. We spread the gospel by spreading love.
