I'm sorry, but I just don't see any correlation between diversities in various plant, and animal species and diversities of opinion in the church. The fact that God created a number of plant and animal species does not necessitate His blessing upon any number of varying opinions in the Body of Christ which tend to cause divisions. Paul, did, after all, exhort the Corinthian believers that they should be of the same opinion (1 Cor. 1:10, that which is rendered "judgment, thought" in some translations being the GreeK "gnōmē" which is given by Strong's to mean "the faculty of knowledge, mind, reason...view, judgment, opinion) , and I have yet personally to see in the New Testament where varying opinions are desirable.
