Do Animals Believe In God by ucheagu(op): 9:07pm On Mar 04, 2025
I think animal's have a mind of their own, with the way the female animal protect it child, so they must have the ability to think, so I do wonder do they believe in God, do they have souls or will they go to heaven or hell if they die...

Animals are self conscious so it's probably they understand the idea of a creator

NO, they live on instinct as they weren't created in the likeness of God so all they could think of is food, danger, mating and threat. You can only add something to it which they can never grasp!

Human and Animal are the same. We are higher animals.

Both Animals and Humans have Conscience.

Animals dream too
Animals Love too
Animals feel pains.

Etc

Humans are critical thinkers, I can't say the same about you tho.
They can see nature and how they synchronise with the environment. They feel pain and loss, the same is applied to humans.

When I was a child, we used to have 2 pet dogs.
One bad day, one of the 2 dogs was hit by a mad driver and it died on the spot. I went home and reported what had happened.
When we returned and was almost close, we saw the other dog standing by the dead dog and was sad.

If you can experience loss and pain, the next step to console is to think of the being in a better place deviod of pain

The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “As far as scholars have discovered, there has never existed any people, anywhere, at any time, who were not in some sense religious.”

Have you seen any creature doing the same like humans?

Well animals don't think about a creator that's why you can never find any specie of animals that's religious!undecided

Hmmmmmmm that makes sense but since you as a CRITICAL THINKER can you help us with just one example?

The Encyclopedia says only humans have that attribute but if you as a CRITICAL THINKER can help us we will learn from you sir! smiley

Encyclopedia was complied by humans, what gives you the impression that I should follow their thought form?

You as a CRITICAL THINKER need not follow the Encyclopedia but since many people follow it you should please liberate us by providing just one example of another religious creature apart from humans.

Thanks in advance!

Your question is very interesting. I also wonder because of what the bible said in Mark 16:15:

Mark 16:15 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

The bible said preach the gospel to every CREATURE. That means animals are included. It didn't say preach the gospel to ALL MANKIND. It said "to every CREATURE." So maybe we should be organizing crusades for animals too.

So you will go and preach to dogs and cats and cows? And you think you are not Mad?

Which God? I hope you are not thinking YHWH, the same who declared He was God only of Israel, in which case I would have to ask if these animals are Israelites. undecided
