The only humans who get into Heaven are consistently righteous.
It is expected that you will make mistakes even in Heaven, but you are expected to own up to them.
That is what your life on Earth is about: becoming consistently righteous.
Heaven is about being anywhere but the gates of Hell.
Those in Heaven are responsive to God's will, not on an eternal vacation.
You not only accept Christ into your heart but respond eagerly when God makes a request.
It is either exceptionally naive or inappropriately arrogant to think God's only sentient creations are human beings and angels.
Do you really think Heaven only contains human beings and angels?
Where is the logic that assumes that out of a 92 billion light year wide observable part ofcreation that the Earth is the only world containing sentient creations?
Consider this.
Although there is little material and intellectual difference between human beings 40millennia ago and today, human beings 40 millennia ago knew considerably less about creation than we know today.
That being the case, how reliable is a 40 millennia ago human's knowledge about God?
Did such a human even know that God existed?
Such humans were common prey for many animals with claws: the evidence is there.
Isn't it human hubris to claim otherwise?
Maybe, the battle in Heaven was about giving humans the knowledge of God.
Perhaps our current relationship with God was affirmed at Calvary.
There is nothing wrong with the Adam and Eve metaphor, it is about understanding our present relationship with God and the Gospels about Jesus point to God's plan for the future.
And this.
What if other beasts, such as Dolphins, have a future as sentient creatures beyond their current state.
How much of God's will do you really know?
Is it too hard for you to imagine Dolphins sharing Heaven with humans?
Doesn't matter if that is difficult for you to imagine because the point isn't about Dolphins.
It is the arrogance that Heaven is only for angels and human beings.
Our brain is so tiny that imagining a thousand things at once is really hard.
8 billion is too big a number for our tiny brain to imagine so it is a convenient shortcut to think that 92 billion light years of observable creation is empty of sentient life except for Earth.
Really?
Good thing for microscopes and telescopes else everything except Earth would be Platonic.
God forbid that you walk through a heavenly door and meet a sentient amoeba.
