Lets just pretend humans found a safe place somewhere else in space. What about all the animals? Nobody seems to think past the human race in this issue.

This is all hypothetical. I doubt humans will be alive then, and if any animals are alive they probably will not resemble anything we know of now.

Well--that won't happen for billions of years, but , assuming we and the animals are still around in some form, any here on Earth will get barbecued.
Actually, though, that expansion will be slow in human terms--most likely the animals will just gradually become extinct as the climate gets worse and worse.
But here's the good news--the animals--or a lot of them--will go with humanity to wherever else we live. That will have to happen. We live in an interdependant relationship with the other life forms--plant and animal--on Earth. We cannot survive without taking a lot of them along with us. So--we'll have to save them in order to be able to save ourselves. :)

"Then the universe grows tremendously in size in half a second" yeah that's correct so far, you don't have to like it but that's the way it happened. "time passes on and Planet Earth, which happens to be in the perfect position to support life" Earth doesn't just "pop" in to existence. Earth does just happen to be in the perfect position to support life. Of course, for one, we don't know that this position is perfect, we just know that it works for us; Things might be better somewhere else. Also, there are billions of stars, and billions of planets so basic probability would suggest that some planets have to be in the perfect positions. "develops small bacteria, eventually these microbes, which some scientist say is unlikely" key word:some. The fact that some people, scientists or otherwise, say that this is unlikely is as meaningful as some people saying an economic down turn is unlikely. FYI, we can't vote truth and if we could the winners would be the minority. "evolved into more complicated organisms, a common ancestor to humanity and other primates evolves into intelligent beings, with emotions" Yup, since evolution is a fact, this is pretty much the truth. "but somehow humanity is the only animal with a conscience, out of so many species have lived and died for 4 billion years humanity is the only remotely intelligent animal" proof please. "science can give some answers ,but evolution and the big bang theory are just theories" theory in a scientific sense are ideas with a large body of supporting work. Your using the 6th grader version of theory, which in science is the equivalent of hypothesis. Neither evolution nor the big bang theory are hypotheses. "if my theory was , the sun had children with the moon and created the Earth and the other stars, after coming from the blackness would you believe it?" straw man and red herring, good way to end a worthless argument.

When the Sun expands in five billion years, they will probably google back on this question and wonder why they went hungry for billions of years.
As long as we are taking 7 billion people and trucking off somewhere, we might as well take all of the animals too. And all of the plants and trees. And some insects. Might as well take all of the ocean life too. And the birds too, we can't forget about the birds. Has anyone seen my suitcase?

We'll come back. You can't miss a free BBQ.
...or we can take Earth with us, like a giant Winnebago - in which case all animals will die in the freezing temperatures (a huge waste).
But something tells me something different from us will have to worry about that. Considering everything seems to follow a probability distribution, and that we're already past due for a massive extinction, there's a dim chance we'll live to tackle that issue ourselves (especially if we don't wise up; we can't act like spoiled teens anymore - 300 years ago violent retaliation wouldn't kill more than many thousands after intense fighting; now it can kill billions in days, and I don't think we're grown up to control ourselves - we're too impulsive).

Their frozen embryos will be stored on some laboratory ship somewhere, until they can be replanted on some other planet.
Actually, that is so far into the future, who knows? No one can predict future technology with any-type of certainty.

Don't worry, Bambi will be shot by a hunter long before the sun expands.

They'll all be dead already, as the oceans will have been evaporated for the previous billion years or so.

Most animals that cannot stand extreme extreme heat would die...

All the animals would die. The second part is we would all be vegetarians.
