Christians like non-christians live in homes and utilize the services from buildings that require wood from forest. So there appears to be no particular universal oppinion regarding clearing forest trees to improve the quality of life for humans. Also, during biblical times when the Holy Temple in Jerusalem was being built by King Solomon, it required the use of a large amount of forest timber and thus clearing to constuct it.
