Link to any other species with our level of technology, art, and societies?
Thanks
I can make it easier: Can you link to any other species in the universe that has built a sailboat?

They go to be with St. Francis where they wait for us.

People are going to say that the same thing happens to us but they are wrong. They die. That’s it

I tried to curb the thread toward Christians in particular to get a feel for cross-sectional beliefs, but I haven't seen many show up in the thread yet.

They cease to exist. The same as people.

I'm not saying that. I'm just asking what part of a human cannot be linked back to electrical or chemical signals in the brain?

Ok then, here are two intriguing and contradictory Christian perspectives on the afterlife that answer the question in very different ways:
1. According to many Orthodox Christians, Heaven is the soul's experience of being in the direct presence of God. (Similarly, Hell isn't literally fire and brimstone but rather the emotional agony of being entirely apart from God for all eternity.) In this view, neither animals nor any other kind of possessions will be in Heaven but you'll never notice.
2. Certain Protestant groups see Heaven as a recreated Garden of Eden where the relationship between God and Man that was ruined by original sin has been mended forever. Souls will live in a paradise very similar to Eden and will enjoy all the things we enjoy on Earth. It makes sense that the companionship of animals would be one of those things.
To me, if you assume Heaven is real, then you must assume that you will be unable to feel sorrow over the people you knew in life who aren't there. If people will be unable to feel sorrow for the children, parents, friends, etc. who aren't joining them in Heaven, then it will also be impossible to feel sad over missing pets. Therefore, either pets do join their owners in Heaven or Heaven is so unlike our mortal experience that we'll never notice our pets if they aren't there. Jesus' answer in Matthew 22 points to the second conclusion, IMO.

I don’t know. But who is to say that the electrical signals in our brain don’t create distinct ripples in the Universe that go on forever? Like a pebble in a frictionless pool of water.
Great converation.

Toilet, garbage or backyard burial.

Nothing.
Well it's definitely not nothing. I mean there's decay, probably eventually consumption by bacteria, worms or maggots and then our molecules get broken down to be recycled into other molecules.
The great circle of life.

They get bbq'ed (cremated) and buried on the property in Mississippi, only because my wife insists on it.

This is greatly helpful to me in making sense of an otherwise tricky universe.
