Many Christians do believe in evolution. Also, many people who believe in evolution, who are not religious, also believe in a God and heaven.

So you believe humans go to heaven, and humans have also evolved (usually you would believe God created life and helped evolution along) from lesser species. Then do those lesser species also go to heaven? If not, then when was the first "human" to go to heaven? Like, did cavemen go to heaven? Did our common ancestor with apes go to heaven? Or was there one day when God said the this is the first human in evolution and is the first to go to heaven.

Only answer if you believe in heaven and evolution.

If indeed there is a heaven of sorts.....some kind of afterlife.....I could only imagine all living beings would eventually end up there....from the beginning of life.
G*d is this theory would not be an entity like an old man sitting in heaven making decisions but more of a spiritual force.
The writing of the bible or invention of any of the worlds religions would only effect this hypothetical afterlife in that they may push a persons consciousness in one direction or anothers, if indeed this consciousness survived death. It is possible though that only the life force itself continues and the consciousness itself ceases to exist at the time of death.

The theory of evolution is completely incompatible with the Christian view of God. I should know, I was an atheist/evolutionist for 20 years; near the end I tried to reconcile God with evolution. It just didn't work.
Think about it - if we're just animals, then there is no such thing as sin, and if there's no such thing as sin, then Christ died for nothing and our faith is in vain.
Also, some people like to use the "Day-Age" theory, where they believe that each day of the 6-Day creation was really millions of years. Oh, really? Those poor plants created on the 3rd day would have to wait millions of years for the sun to rise!
Some people believe that there was a period before Adam and Eve when sub-humans existed for millions of years, during which time Satan was cast to the Earth. Hmmm, let's see. When God had created everything by the 6th day and said that everything was "very, very good", were Adam and Eve standing on millions of dead things and Satan was already the Prince of this world?
The problem with Christians trying to force-fit evolution into their religion is that evolution doesn't have a scientific leg to stand on. All the so-called "evidences" for evolution are either misinterpretation of facts, outright lies or hoaxes that have long since been disproven. The fossil record, and, in fact, all scientific fields demonstrate significant evidence of Intelligent Design, a young Earth and a global Flood, just like the Bible says. Why replace a perfectly good Bible with a stupid theory like evolution that doesn't even have anything to back it anyway?

I believe in a mix of "heaven" and reincarnation. Sure, animals can go to heaven/be reincarnated. When I was younger I was told that when you got to the pearly gates, it was the animals- pet dogs, stray cats, ants in your yard- that decided whether or not you got in. I don't take that so literally now, but it's a good thought- who deserves better than innocent creatures and faithful companions than to go to a better place after death?

I believe in Creation, not evolution. Evolution means one species changed into another. There is no scientific proof of this. There is proof of adaptation and mutation, changes within the species, but not changing to another one.

This is such a good question that I was inspired to learn how to use the "watch" function for the first time. I hope you get some good answers!
