What you seem to miss, and most people do, is that this creation was never intended to be permanent. Scientists know that over 99.9 percent of species have already gone extinct, and extinctions have been a way of life. The history of life is the history of mass extinctions followed by rapid repopulations.
I have studied theology and listened to many stupid teachers. I have discovered that tThe teachers seem to be stupider than most. They can not answier important difficult questions. But fortunately, for every difficult question I have come across Jesus always has the answer. For this question, which a lot of people don't understand, and need to good answer Jesus says: 'Ashes to ashes.' In other workds death is a part of physical life. There is no escape. That is the way the universe was created. So death of species is not a reflection on the state of creation at all. Don't forget the mass repopulations. But also, as Jesus was pointing out, do not focus solely on your physical life because there is an existance after we die. And Jesus would love to spend the rest of eternity in heaven with us.
