Humans are no different to animals our bodies function exactly the same our brains are just more advanced. Just like a monkey's brain is more advanced then a pigs but they still dont go to heaven.

Humans are allegedly more highly "evolved" creatures that do not act on instinct alone as the "lower" animals do, and monkeys can't believe in, or know, Jesus...that,and the guys that wrote the book promised we'd go to heaven, but not them. But I don't rmember reading anywhere that animals >don't< go to heaven. Maybe they do but it's just on the other side of the cloud.

Pretty simple actually - but first you would need to believe in the existence of a soul. Human Beings have a soul where animals do not - therefore opening the possibility of Heaven or Hell. Animals don't go to Hell either.

Because Man has been given an immortal spirit and the animals have not, Man has also been given a moral barometer the animals have not. Man has been given the image of God, animals have not, Man is the only one who has free will, animals do not. Man is the only one who has the capacity to communicate with His Creator animals do not.
Doubtful you will believe this answer but that is the way it is, you can ignore it for awhile but one day you will meet the LORD of Heaven and Earth and realize the folly of your attitudes.

mankind was created in the image and likeness of God. that means, among other things, that we have a spirit. animals weren't made in the same manner, and thusly have no spirit or soul, so there's not much left to go to heaven. however, i'm pretty sure the bible says that everything you desire will be in heaven waiting for you when you get there (unless it's something contradictory to God's law, of course). so if you miss good ol' sparky, the dog you had when you were seven, he'll be there, ready to play fetch again. i hope that makes sense.

They tell me that all good animals go to heaven.
I often ask the question; if all those good spirits souls are to be reincarnated on judgement day and all turn up back on earth or someplace like earth, wouldn't it be a bit crowded.
They also tell me that every time there is an volcano eruptions or earthquakes then Hell is getting a little bit crowded.

We were animals in our past.
Animals have bodies but donot have the thinking power that human have.
Spirits have thinking power the human have but donot have bodies.
Human have bodies and thinking power.
Take any religion of the world. Their "GOD" was in human form. In other words human life is the only way to reach the Supreme Power. You can waste this precious life in futile things or utilize every second of your life to come close to HIM.
I hope that answers your question.
Good Luck.

The soul is immortal and there is no proof that animals have souls. I have said in response to other questions like this that I don't think it would be heaven without animals.

that's because the animals aren't dumb enough to fall for it... or there was no benefit to selling this ideology to them in either power or money... we all end up the same way... I'm sure the monkeys and the pigs are wondering how long it will take the human geniuses to figure it out... I'm sure they laugh at us along the way...

Who says they are not?
We see when Jesus comes back in his triumphant reign, he comes back on a white horse and his army is with him on white horses. So we know horses are in Heaven.
The Bible refers to beasts around the throne of God in Heaven.
The word beast comes from the Greek work 'zoon,' and it's the word we get zoo from.
We find evidence from the book of Romans, beginning in verse number 19 chapter 8, it says, 'for all creation is waiting patiently and hopefully for that future day when God will resurrect his children.'
Jack Van Impe and Billy Graham agree one of these day, those pets will find the resurrection just like we as believers will enjoy.

Humans have a spirit, animals don't.
