Originally posted by murrowI went down to the university observatory this last Friday. I looked through a large telescope at a globular cluster which contained over 100,000 stars.

God made this just for me. He made the globular cluster and everything in outerspace just for humans because we are the height of his creation. We are the crowning achievement. We are the best that an omniscient mind can dream up.
hmmmmm?
Do animals go to heaven? Don't be silly. Why would God want stupid creatures like dolphins and apes, when he has the very greatest beings his handiwork can produce right here with us?
Moral of the story: Animals are worthless. Humans are all God cares about. The Universe is our playground.

Originally posted by murrowYes, I do believe that animals go to Heaven. I'm not sure if it is the same Heaven that we go to. I do believe that God takes care of them though.
also, is there *anyone* here who seriously believes that animals go to heaven?
(or does anyone have a link to a thread where this was discussed?)
It all goes back to the soul. Everybody knows that animals are alive and that they have personalities. This is really all the evidence that I need. It's true that they don't reason the way we do, but who's to say they won't come back as humans?
By the way, does anybody know where the Bible talks about this?
