Reply #21: Right a few questions for those who believe in an afterlife

[cyborg_jim]

1) If you believe humans are exclsuively going to go to an afterlife why are we so special? If not, do bacteria have souls or is there some sort of demarkation point for what life forms are going to have an afterlife?

2) What makes a carbon-based life form special consideration for having its structure preserved in somesort of reconstituted energy pattern appearing in an unseen plane of existence? Or is it reasonable to contemplate a silicon heaven? If not why? Where is the demarkation point where carbon machines become significantly complex to be preserved in an alternate dimension?
