So, according to religious people modern science is wrong?

Think about it. What would happen to someone who died on a planet 5 billion light years away. Would they still end up going to the same heaven you think we end up going to? Because eventually humankind will get that far. Plus, where do alians go when they die.

well since the belief is that heaven is a completley spiritual realm, it wouldn't matter where someone died.

and as for aliens, it is said that only humans have souls, so aliens wouldn't go to heaven

and neither do animals, no matter how self aware they are

You can't say that. No one really knows what God's plan is .....

Considering that no religious person I know pictures heaven as being a place that has a physical distance away from Earth, I find it hard to answer the question as it seems based on entirely faulty assumptions.

As for the question of whether or not other animals go to the same place as humans, I don't believe there's really a theological consensus on that among world religions.

the topic title and the question of the first post just don't seem to be the samelamprey263

Religious topic doesn't really matter

There are MANY different schools of thought when it comes to heaven/afterlife/aliens in conjuction with the Bible, etc.. The fact is that most of the interpretations of what the Bible even says about heaven, hell, god, angels, demons, etc.. come from early Catholic Church interpretations. If you go back and read the Bible now, with a completely open mind (but with the perspective of someone who know about modern science and technology).. it reads like a story about extraterrestrial interference (and possible creation) in the affairs of humans. At least that's my take on it. I was raised as a Jehovah's Witness, and was NEVER allowed to talk openly about extraterrestrials, or challenge any of the interpretations of the Bible that the organization put forth. But the reality is that what may have seemed spiritual or supernatural 5,000 years ago to a primitive people could just be highly advanced technology. All supernatural means is science that we don't yet understand.

...as a religious person I am at a loss for words with this.clayron

Animals go to heaven, why is this even an issue. As to the rest of your question, it doesn't make anything even resembling sense.

[QUOTE="clayron"]...as a religious person I am at a loss for words with this.mr_poodles123

Because there is no god.

No, animals go to heaven, it has nothing to do with souls. Sharks, lions, sheep, insects like roaches, etc etc they all go to heaven.

I saw this documentary once called All Dogs go to Heaven.

[QUOTE="clayron"]...as a religious person I am at a loss for words with this.mr_poodles123

OK, now I'm pretty sure that religious people do not affirm that all alien lifeforms have no souls.

This might be the first time we've ever agreed on something :P

Maybe aliens have their own deity and religions. *shrug*

Yes, but only if it accepts Jeebus into it's mitochondria.

[QUOTE="clyde46"][QUOTE="mr_poodles123"] So the bacteria that they found on mars, goes to heaven? mr_poodles123

Who says that God controls the details of life on Earth at this time? The Bible says that "the world lies in the power of the wicked one" at present.

No, it was the biographical story of a dog that owned a casino and came back from the dead, narrated by Burt Reynolds.

So what exactly would a bacteria do in heaven? Also, another question: For someone with Alzheimer's or a similar disease where they can't remember anything or are unable to think, are they returned to their usual state of conscience when they go to heaven? Why would "God" even make someone forget about their entire lives and cause pain and suffering for family members.

mr_poodles123

Well if we assume for a moment that it's a conscious entity (which it probably isn't), then it's not as though in whatever lies ahead it'd be a bacteria; you obviously wouldn't retain your physical body.

Seriously, what does any of this...

Think about it. What would happen to someone who died on a planet 5 billion light years away. Would they still end up going to the same heaven you think we end up going to? Because eventually humankind will get that far. Plus, where do alians go when they die.

mr_poodles123

...have to do with modern science? I think the original poster made a typo in his thread title; he intended to say "modern science fiction."

Lmao animals are too smart to believe in a god.deleterguy
