I love this reflection. It kind of shines a spotlight on the fallibility of mainstream religions under rational thought. Could there be something after death? Sure. But the stories people are peddled arent based on any truth, it's just telling people what they want to hear to get them to join the club.

There's a people heaven, and a dog heaven, and a monkey heaven, a bird heaven, etc. Like, what? There's an estimated 8.7 million species on earth, you think there's a heaven for each of them? When evolution spins off something new or species cross breed, like a liger from a lion and tiger, does a new heaven just pop into existence?

Mainstream depictions of heaven are bunk.

If you believe evolution is real, you'll obviously never go to heaven, so you'll never find out.

I don't think God discriminates against monkeys

Based on the all dogs go to heaven philosophy, I would say the cutoff would be in the other direction.

Or what if the apes did go to heaven? All of them? From all time. That's a lot of apes for the early humans to deal with.
