    There is no reason to think that the "scriptures" are a trustworthy source of information about anything other than locations and a limited region of geography.

    All animals, including humans. cease to "exist" when they die, nothing more, nothing less. Of course there are various life forms that are not really alive, but they too cease to exist when they are damaged greatly.

    Revelations 5:13-14.

    Animals were created by God. They act according to the laws He created for them, that is to say they don't sin, therefore they are eligible to live with God forever after they die.

    Animals do not have souls therefore nothing happens to them when they die. They can't go anywhere because there's nothing to go someplace. That bit about Genesis is how God instructed Noah to keep the animals alive, it in no way suggest that animals go to Heaven.

    Funny how animals just rot in the ground yet humans get to live forever. Christians are so ******* stupid.

    Rev 5:13And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
