I'll type slow so you can understand.
I think of the Earth as being in beta. Sort of like a test run for the real thing. I think of God as being more like a scientist than a magic man in the sky with the ability to snap his or her fingers and create life. He or she didn't say "Let there be light!" and then there was light. I can't explain how it would work. Maybe there was a "Universe in a pack" kit. "Just add life" With a bit of tinkering, you get different life forms.
Now, if there's an afterlife (I happen to think there is. Might just be fucking wishful thinking on my part, but I'm fine with wishful thinking) then I'd presume that the afterlife is Earth 2.0. All of the data organisms collect for god to analyze, and then create a perfect world.
Any animals I gave as an example weren't so much a list that I would think get into heaven, so much as a list of random animals I gave as an example. Personally I believe this creator is likely somewhat benevolent, and has the ability to reason much like humans do. But that's just my guess. I mean to some "higher numbers = better", but that's certainly not always the case. Armies with more people in it don't always win, for example. Humans seem to have this sense of curiosity that such a creator would also likely have (why else create a fucking universe?)
I didn't sit out and reason out each animal. "Yeah, we'll add cats. We'll add dogs. But not Cows. Beef is good, but let's be honest. They were in on those fucking Chic Filet Commercials, and that's just inexcusable." Instead I listed animals that came to mind that are reasonably well liked vs animals that are reasonably disliked and cause problems. Just as an example of how god might reason things out. I'm not god obviously (or if I am, I don't know it). I can't predict how a god I don't know exists or not would react because I don't have a 2000 year old book explaining it to me. I wouldn't even try. I was only giving an example of how the fuck it might work. There's nothing set in stone.
