Okay. Do you believe the Earth is spheircal (technically it's not a perfect sphere, but whatever)? Or flat?

Do cats and dogs go to heaven (if there is a heaven)?

I actually do believe that dogs and cats go to heaven. I know a lot of people don't, but I do.

 

[CheezDoodle]

No, it's not stupid. It's just a differing opinion.

No, I really think it's just as stupid as saying that the keyboard you're typing on is a gas or that gravity is a lie.

 

[chisnpeke]

See chirsnpeke.
Others do say others religions are stupid, and thier' beliefs.
Luckily, I'm not going to start.
I'm thinking WYJD..

Oh, I know that they think it's stupid. I do think that was a bit disrespectful. Saying someone else's belief is stupid is rude, (no matter how much you might disagree with it) in my opinion.

The Earth is a almost perfect field, expect for the north and south pole..
And I'm not sure if cats or dogs go to heaven. And yes, there is a heaven.

By field do you mean flat? Because if so I'll just end the conversation here.

lol.

that should definitley be a tag!!!

Oh gosh, if anyone says the earth is flat....wow.

I think I meant sphere..

Why did write that? Hmm..

lol, i just wanted to note that.. just because science tells you something, it doesnt mean that it is an absolute fact... also, if a religion tells you something, it doesnt mean that it is an absolute fact... both religion and science set out to do the same thing in a sense.. they try to explain the quesions of life.. where did we come from.. how does the world work.. etc etc... science and religion are both just trying to give insight on our lives and origins as people... science uses logic and analysis to answer questions, while religion uses philosophy and the supernatural.. i find that its best to not be dedicated to just one side... examine both sides.. both arguments.. then come to your own conclusion... its ok to be both religious and scientific... nothing wrong with agreeing with certain parts of the bible, and disagreeing with other parts... personally, i believe that there are higher beings (be it god or something else) in play, but i also believe in the mechanics of evolution and science as a whole.. make your own decisions on your beliefs... dont just take in everything that someone says to you as absolute truth

Well, science NEVER say's anything is an absolute fact, really. The very nature of science means that it conforms to the evidence given, to what really happens in the world around us. Religion, on the other hand, is dead set in it's beliefs and does not change them even given dirrectly opposing evidence.

If I remember from my RS class, people say animals don't go to heaven because they have no soul.

Here's a question I asked a couple of days ago.

If a Christian commits bad deeds because he wants to go to Hell because it's like Heaven to him, does this mean when he dies, we will go to Heaven because it's like Hell to him?

haha, yea, but i meant as in your interpretation.. you yourself shouldnt believe something is absolute fact just because someone or something tells you it is.. find your own truth basically

Animals have souls. My dogs, they aren't as smart as humans but they have the sweetest, purest souls I have ever known. But like I said before, I believe the purest forms of love on this earth come from babies and animals.

That is an interesting question. I guess it might bring up the question, the definition of Heaven really depends on each individual.

 

[PigletGurl]

I have a few questionbs for Christians.

1.Do you believe that humans are animals (which we are, I just know some Christians don't for some reason)?[

2. If you don't believe in evolution, do you believe that the Earth is as old as it is (4.5 billion years)?

3. Do you dismiss the idea that life on Earth will end when the Sun turns into a red giant and will either burn up every living being or embody the Earth (I know that didn't sound very scientific but I'm not good at wording things)?

Hi I am a Southern Baptist.

1. Do you believe that humans are animals (which we are, I just know some Christians don't for some reason)?
No, I believe that those who believe in Jesus and the he is God's son are sons of God. Those who are unbelievers are creatures or animals, whichever you want to call it.

2. If you don't believe in evolution, do you believe that the Earth is as old as it is (4.5 billion years)?
Of course not, I dont believe a single word of the evolution theory. God created the world, and humans are not descendants of monkeys.

3.Do you dismiss the idea that life on Earth will end when the Sun turns into a red giant and will either burn up every living being or embody the Earth (I know that didn't sound very scientific but I'm not good at wording things)?
No, I believe what Revelation says. And revelation doesnt mention any of that.
THe world will begin to end when people start believing in a certain person instead of God, who will be called the antichrist.

 

[marypops!]

yup.

Isn't Satan a rogue Angel? That's something I remember...

Most people's views of Hell is a fiery pit where everyone is tortured by pushing large boulders or something (that's what I think of)

Most people's views of Heaven is a place with Clouds and angels playing Harps everywhere...

well sure it's not most people's views, but you get the general idea... I think...

I have actually never thought of Hell as pushing boulders, interesting. I do think of it as a fiery pit though.

I think of Heaven as a place that is cloud like. I imagine God and Jesus being there along with all of my loved ones.

As for the rogue angel, if you mean he was an angel before he went to hell, then yes I believe that is correct. Was his name Lucifer?

I wouldn't want to go to Heaven if they didn't have cats or puppies there, that seems like a sad place to me.

I know.

The only comfort I will get when my dogs die is that I might see them again in Heaven.

The reason that I do not believe in evolution is primarily because of how extremely complex humans are. If we are this complex, why isn't there one other species out there that comes very close to our intelligence and complexity. I don't believe chimps and apes are even close to as smart as we humans are. I believe something was involved in making as complex as we are.

Ah, 'Irreducible Complexity'. My favorite logical falacy.

Humans really are no more complex than any other animal. Our brain is the same basic organ as many other mammals, just bigger (besides, other animals are smarter than others, we just happen to be on top for this trait). This isn't always an advantage as a bigger brain means more resources needed by it. And other animals have better, and more complex, systems than us. Squids have a very complex skin system that alows for both color change and bioluminescence. The stomach system of a cow is far more complex than ours, a birds lung system is more complex. Other animals have better sight, better smell, better reflexes, ect. We have intelligence, but it doesn't really make us any more complex than another animal.

And evolution is how we all got so complex in the first place. You add trait upon trait, billions of traits for millions of years, and things can get very complex. Well, some organisms remain simplistic because they remain well-adapted. Others need to get more complex.

As well, no animal is completly perfectly adapted. Humans for example: Our eyes have a bundle of nerves in front of a receptor that cause a blind spot, by walking upright we have more pressure on our back and necks which causes serious problems. The human hip is the worst, for the possitioning it upright makes child-birth more painfull and dangerous.

All in all, things being complex only goes to support evolution, and not disprove it.
