Man is one of 1.3 million species on the planet. Why would god sacrifice his only begotten son to save mankind but not do anything to save the “sinless” creatures on the planet that succumb to extinction by the hand of man or nature?

"God's plan", you say? And which god might that be?
The existence of a deity is nothing more than a notion that has come down to
us from profoundly ignorant times thousands of years ago.
Until fairly recently, it was perfectly reasonable for everyone to accept its
validity . However, once various brilliant scientists began to explicate the
secrets of physics, chemistry, etc. there was no longer any excuse for
thoughtful people to stick with the old fairy tale about creation.
Recently, chaos theory has provided an explanation for the spontaneous
appearance of life throughout the universe.
Those with any self-esteem at all understand that in the 21st century, the
Garden of Eden tale is a quaint little story that has no connection with reality.
Your god had no plan, because he, she, or it simply never existed.
Man was basically created to please God.
We've been given dominion over the animals.
We've been given the understanding of right and wrong.
We've been given souls.
Animals, like rocks, trees and computers, have no such things.
That doesn't mean that we are to be abusive. But it does mean that we are more important. It probably means that I won't see my cat in heaven, sadly.
As far as God's plan and extinction is concerned: I would say that that's a matter of sin and science.
The sin in the world causes death to happen.
The death in the world causes adaptations, evolution to happen.
Evolution and death combined cause the extinction of some species, the strengthening and creation of others.
This is simply how everything on Earth operates.
It is definitely well within the design schematic's of God's creation, even though the initial plan was for nothing to ever die.
So, that's the make-up of the answer.
Understanding all that, the question becomes whether God's will is truly for animals to become extinct, and, personally, it seems to me to be that the extinction of animals is actually irrelevant. It is neither his will nor against his will.
Earth was obviously designed to sustain life, which is why new species come when old species die out, and even massive climate change and widespread extinction can only lead to different, better adapted life forms sprawling all over the planet.
Humans do what they will. Their paths are God's plan.
Animals... I think animals are both exemplification of God's greatness and tools for humanity, just like everything else in creation.
After the flood, God said he would never again deal every living thing a blow as He did with the flood (Gen 8:21). God is going to do away with the wicked (Ps 37:9, 10; Prov 2:22). Animals will not be resurrected, but there will be survivors into the new paradise earth (Isa 11:6-9; 65:25). God's plan is a paradise earth as he intended when He created Adam and Eve (Gen 1:23, 31; Isa 55:11; Ps 37:11, 29).
Extinction is a organic phenomena, yet guy has sped up the death of many species through habitat destruction and different impacts. there's an ethical crucial to maintain all species. that's stated as the Noah's Ark idea...... Noah did no longer have a decision as to what animals were positioned on his ark.... his job change into to guard all of them, pest species and non-pest species. provided that people are between the significant driving forces for animal extinction immediately, that is even more beneficial crucial that we act in a responsible thanks to guard those species. All international places have 3 styles of wealth: organic elements, Cultural, and organic and organic. All 3 varieties want nurturing and perfect administration. i pick my grandkids to work out an identical organic and organic wealth that I particularly have considered, and so ought to you.
Would it be better, that ALL creatures live on, forever and ever? That would not be possible, not in material form. Imagine a 14 billion year old dinosaur. and all other creatures since then.
Why do people say things, when they do not even know the slightest thing about it? WHO ...for instance...knows God's plan? President of US? No. Queen of England? no. Maybe North Korea leader? no.
NO one knows God's plan. How then, can anyone answer?

Secondly...God did NOT sacrifice his only son. Jesus, who just like us, had Free Will...and Jesus had a choice...but His choice was not to die or to live....His choice was to KEEP his faith. and to NOT deny God's existence. By doing this, Jesus was then crucified. Pontius Pilate offered Him freedom...all Jesus had to do, was say " I do not believe in God" and " I will stop preaching"....Jesus would have been freed.
God did NOT force Jesus to do anything. God would have allowed Jesus to do either. So God did NOT send Jesus to die. It was the choice of Jesus, to keep His faith, and that led to His death.
Does God force YOU to believe in HIM? If you choose to step into oncoming traffic and kill yourself, that is YOUR choice, not that of God. And that, is the same, with Jesus.
Not only do people spread rumors that are false, but they claim to not even believe in God, and then come up with this sort of stuff. How can anyone NOT believe in God and still ask about Him?
This is the sort of stuff, that propaganda is made of....mostly lies, and misunderstandings, to try to get others to change their way of thinking.
The life and death of creatures on this planet, has gone on many years BEFORE man came into being. They lived and died... why should it be different now? Without this life and death cycle, you and I would not be here. So be grateful, for that, at least.
One of the rules of theism:
1) if something good happens, you praise your god.
2) if something bad happens, you shrug and say "must be part of my god's plan."
That way, no matter what happens, you think your imaginary deity is in control.
God extincted all the bad people a long time ago
Has anyone ever recieved a copy of this cunning plan?
IMHO
not at all, This evil is what man does all to themselves and this extinction can still happen if others will not stop wanting what other have that they need or not stop wanting the world domination that they seek.-Jesus Christ
Who is this God? Is it a spice or a certin type of tree?
