If we had a pre-mortal existence, and an afterlife, does the same hold true for all of God's creatures?

I was told it did. Which is problematic. Let's not focus on all the animals, instead, let us focus on just one creature, the chicken. Did you know that right now there is one egg laying chicken for every man woman and child in the country, including all the illegal immigrants? Did you know this is only egg laying hens, and does not include roosters, and all the baby male chicks that will get processed into nuggets for being born the wrong gender. You go elsewhere in the world, and you see the same. It typically takes one egg laying chicken to supply each human with their supply of eggs.

Now chickens are short lived animals, so while all of us billions of humans are living for decades, we will have a new complete set of billions of chickens to support us, every few years. Already, within our own life time, we are talking about a lot of chickens. Add to this, all the generations of chickens who have ever lived, and all the chickens that will ever live, that is a lot of chickens, especially when you consider, once again, all the baby male chicks that get killed at birth, so the farmers don't have to feed them.

Where, in the next life, are we going to put all of those immortal chickens? Never mind all of God's other creations.

One more thing, does God create spirit chickens out of nothing, or does he produce them the same way he makes us, by having sex with a heavenly chicken mother? Or is there a heavenly chicken rooster inside a large chicken coup full of heavenly hens?

And what about cows? From what I understand the primary cause of global warming is the methane produced by cows (as are result of humans farming and eating so many cows.)

There are going to be some serious problems with global warming in the next life when all the cows get resurrected. Maybe all cows go to hell - that could explain the heat and the stinky smell of brimstone?

I've also heard that according to Joseph Smith even rocks have spirits. That's going to really confusing - you could just go break a rock in half and create a new spiritual rock entity - or maybe 2 new rock spirit entities. Do the spirit get broken into two - or are there now a total of 3 rock spirits? How do these rock spirits all come back together in the next life?

by being temple worthy of course! :)

Sounds like you need a science education.

No, actually, I learned the same thing in college, in Environmental Geology. Got an A in the course too. Methane is one of the big greenhouse gasses.

Obviously this was all in jest anyway, but here's some info for you:

Ants, cockroaches, bees, termites, bacteria, starfish, and mold?

Is every single one that ever lived going to be resurrected?


What about mega fauna?

Look it up.

I did. Wish I hadn't. Curiosity isn't alays rewarding.

Some knowledge has to bake for a while in order to rise, 420 degrees.

What a great premise for a sci-fi movie!!

Chickens are just like humans.

Some of them seem to have a personality and/or a brain.

But most of them are clucking and laying, and crowing about it.

And then, without looking either way, they cross the road.

That's why there are going to be lots of planets. Maybe there will be a planet just for excess chickens. I guess you could call it chicken heaven.

I thought that was already called the Celestial Kingdom?

Enjoy, lol.

Oh I forgot. These numbers were just for egg laying chickens, and did not include pot roasting chickens, which are not always the same thing. I alone probably go through quite a few chickens a year.

Imagine the number of mosquitoes that have lived just on this Earth all buzzing around on some Telestial world. I'm assuming all mosquitoes go to the Telestial kingdom. But wait.. they're just living out the measure of their creation, right? Maybe they'll be exalted and have eternal life here on this celestialized Earth. How will they feed with everyone having bloodless bodies?

I like to think that every mosquito that has, or ever will, exist will one day en mass feast upon He who "created" them: Heavenly Father.


Payback is a beatch ...

According to TBM mythology:

Animals are like children under 8, they "perfectly fulfill the design of their creation" and thus all receive Celestial glory.

Of course you have the whole lamb lie down with the lion thing where carnivore's stop being carnivore's. I'm guess that in the Celestial Kingdom the mosquito's will just east sap.

Of course apparently resurrected bodies will have no need for food - but can still eat - so who knows?

Tell me about male mosquitos.

They'll be happy. They can have sex with multiple female mosquitoes while the females are limited to just them...

Chickens? How about bacteria? That's a LOT of bacteria.

It's the same answer as always, "that will be revealed to 'us' when we are ready for it and can handle it." Or "We will understand everything in the millennium."

What a stupid cop out! Haha

"Milk before meat," remember? Does it have to be cow's milk? How about camel and goat?

Chicken profit, chicken counselors, chicken polygamy - all the ingredients for chicken celestial glory.

I plan to get my own planet. There, we'll all be vegans. The chickens can do whatever the $#%^ they want -- maybe start their own religion.

There will be lots and lots and lots of coffee...
