Isa 11
6 “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
7 The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
8 The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
9 They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Lord
As the waters cover the sea.

I'd rather my pet dog rest in peace when he dies. The last thing I want is for him to be carressed by Kirk Cameron.

Mhmmm... That's cute. But what about all those creatures, that neither your omniscient god, nor the goat-herding authors of the bible knew even existed? Will there be salmonella in heaven? What about flu virus? Toxoplasmosis? Ecoli? Amoebas? What about tape-worms and dust-mites? Will they all also be eating f-ing grass?
And what's going to happen with all that animal sh*t, which will be plentiful, due to high-fiber diet of yummy, yummy grass. Ever been to a dairy farm? Will things rot in paradise? Or will god just use magic, or angels, or whatever to deal with the sanitation issues? Or maybe christians just like the idea of spending eternity in sh*t?
That heaven of yours is quickly becoming somewhat less glamorous...

What about plants? Are there plants in heaven?

Wait. Oxen don't eat straw. They eat hay.
In any case, if there are no animals in heaven and only people, I don't want to be there. Yeah, I am the person who hangs out with the dogs at parties.
If The Flintstones have taught us anything, it's that pelicans can be used to mix cement.

There are Christians here, what do you think? Are there animals in heaven?
You can't be a Christian without being an animal, even if those of them really seeking to go to heaven are imdistinguishable from vegetables by mental capacity.
