Wanadamu tunaamini katika maisha baada ya kifo, ingawa maisha haya yanapishana kutokana na dini mbalimbali, lakini kwa ujumla common ground ni kuwa tutaishi baada ya kufa. Msingi wa maisha baada yakifo ni imani kuwa mbali na viungo vyoote tulivyonavyo, pia tuna ROHO.
Karibuni.

Thank you for welcoming here:
Immaterial substances are outside of the scope of science. Animals can be explained purely in material terms, whereas humans cannot since they possess minds, not merely brains that receive.
If, then, humans are found to have immaterial minds, then a part of them exists apart from the body and may be capable of surviving death. On the other hand, if an animal dies there is nothing left of it to survive. Once life has left the matter of the animal's body, it ceases to be a living thing altogether, and becomes merely a carcass. So, it would seem that, barring any other evidence suggesting that there is an immaterial aspect to animals, they do not go to heaven (that is, the heaven which exists now).
Humans can analyze data; animals can only perceive. Animals can be conditioned; humans can be taught ideas.
Why is this important? It illustrates the difference between the merely physical phenomenon of perception and the immateriality of reasoning. No scientist has been able to discover any link between the physical matter of the brain and immaterial thought. In fact, it would be impossible to do so since science can only study physical phenomena. Immaterial substances are outside of the scope of science. Animals can be explained purely in material terms, whereas humans cannot since they possess minds, not merely brains that receive.
