Pope Francis has recently said that God created nature which should be taken care and not destroyed by us humans. However it is written in the Bible that Man is at the centre of creation and must dominate on everything else. It is also written that Man was created at God's image and it has been interpreted as superior to any other living being.
He is trying to change this interpretation following Saint Francis but I think it will take a lot of time, if ever possible, to consider all beings as equal as humans because we are all part of the same Whole, or all creations of God as some religions say.
Only then we might come up with an ethic that consider nature worthy. But even now we should realize that we are destroying the planet and we are going too far. I fear that it will soon be too late!
