Answer 1

they go to the big shining habitat in the sky.

Answer 2

The "soul" only pertains to the human animal because we are the only ones tested to be naughty or nice and live eternally either way in God's grand soul game.

Retards are excluded from the test and win a free ticket into heaven because they were sent here to further 'test' the rest of us, even borderline retards and the majority of average intelligence.
So retards are kind of like animals too, except they get rewarded for nothing.

Answer 3

Humans, plants, animals, and all other forms of life decompose after death (unless mummified, of course). They don't actually *go* anyway; it's more like they turn into something else.

If there is an afterlife, it is in the form of whatever lifeform incorporates our bodies and brains. If an apple tree is planted over a grave, you will be incorporated into that tree (assuming there's no coffin in the way of its roots). Later, anything that eats that tree (like a person who eats apples from that tree, for example, or termites that eat the tree after it has fallen) will incorporate both the tree and you.

In this sense, we are all immortal beings--we will continue to "live" on long after we are dead, and we are all composed of countless organisms that have lived before us. It's really very beautiful and comforting, I think, to know that you are composed of the same materials as your loved ones--that they will continue to live in you even after they've died.

Answer 4

Plants have no Mind or Soul, they are inanimate objects, and they are just the sum of the basic elements that make them up.

Humans more then there chemical parts. They have intelligence and self awareness. God can and does relate to us through our senses and conscience. God created us to live for ever and sent his own son Jesus Christ to live and die for us to save us from the sin that would prevent us from experiencing eternal life.

Animals may have some intellect and some limited self awareness. God can not relate to them the same way he does to us. But God created animals as well and therefore I am sure He has a way to relate to them at their level. What ever Gods plan of salvation is for the animals, it is between God and them.

Answer 5

The ground (or ocean), to be broken down by bacteria and become nutrients again.

Thats where all humans go eventually anyway, I want to be used for medical research first, but after that they can do what they like with me and I'll end up as dust eventually.

Answer 6

Please don't be confused with the bodies of beings or plants withe energies that keep them/ us alive. Energy- in any form- is never destroyed; it is simply transfered from one stage to the next.

The energy that keep anything alive (the life-force) is of a different vibration than that of this physical world. Like water taking on different forms between soild, liquid & gas, this energy moves through its own cycles within the universe.

Answer 7

Mankind, animals and plants were created from the dust from the ground, so when they die, they return to the ground where they came from.

Answer 8

We do go there.

The afterlife for plants, animals, and humans has had many names over the centuries. Currently it's called rotting.

Answer 9

According to Buddhism, plants are not sentient beings (no brain or "mind") therefore they can't take rebirth, nor can someone be reborn as a plant. Animals take rebirth according to their karma.
