Dan's thought of the day
Do fish go to heven?
Let me explain. I have a little pet dog, and this dog has had a couple close encounters with death. The first one happened when she was only two monthes old. she got hit by a football. now i'm sure your thinking to yourself, that doesn't sound too bad, and its really not that big of a deal to a normal dog but she wasn't normal. she waied less then 2 pounds. and was about half the seze of the football that we were playing with. the football went up and came down right on top of her. i saw it happen an slow motion. the ball first hit her on the head than from the force of the football hitting her so hard her head hit the sidewalk. she layed there unconsious for just a little bleeding through the mouth, before my mom came running out grabbing the dog and took her caying all the way to the animal haspital. she had a concussion and swelling of her brain. she survived but she hasn't been the same since. now shes afraid of spoons plates shovels and just about all other football shapped objects.
Now back to my question i believe and many other people believe that if she would've died that day or that when any beloved pets die they go to heven. so what about fish? do beloved fish go to heaven? if so there would need to be water in heaven for them to live in. so if there is water in heaven then there is a possibility of life in heaven because its common knowledge that water is the beginning stage of life. thats why seintists look for water on other planets, to see if that planet could support life. so do fish go to heaven?
Oh! What a sad story about your pup! (Though a happy ending except for the fear thing.) Funny you should be writing about this: I was just reading a book on doggy cognition and the ways that we as humans have historically considered dogs as something short of "fully conscious" -- in other words, we don't expect that they can think about their thinking. Anyway, this was the basis of thinking dogs were excluded from Heaven (an old Christian-based belief), and I'd analogize, the reason we'd hesitated to believe fish go to heaven. Of course, my first pet was the greatly beloved goldfish named Herman and I am quite sure he went to Heaven. He was a good fish.
