| Question / Issue |

| Why does God let animals have feelings, suffer, and love to just die and turn to dust? How do u no that animals to not go to heaven? I mean why have animals hurt to be turned into dust? Another question, teachers teach evolution in school and I have to lean about it and take tests, is it wrong to learn about it and take tests if I do NOT belive it? Thank you. |

| There is no indication in the Bible that animals have a continued consciousness after they die. When most people ask about animals "going to heaven", what they are usually talking about is whether their pets will be in heaven. And where does that begin and end? Would every spider that ever lived also be in heaven? Every snake? Every minnow? We have hope that men and women will be in heaven because the Bible describes them being there and how it is that they are saved so as to be with God forever. We cannot extend this to animals without Biblical support simply because we have a longing for it to be so. That is not to say that there won't be animals in heaven. God is the creator of both heaven and earth and He may very well duplicate many animals there. We know that the saints come back with Jesus riding on horses, so at least that species must exist there. It is not wrong to learn about something you don't agree with because it will help you understand other people and better equip you to express what you believe without sounding like you don't know what you're talking about. |
