Where is heaven located? Also, why does God care about homo sapiens?

RE: Where is heaven located? Also, why does God care about homo sapiens?
Quite clearly, it used to be in the sky. Back then they thought the earth was flat. Heaven was up, hell was down. People still talk in those terms today. "She's looking down on me from heaven".

Once we found out this was all wrong, suddenly they had to make up new stories to accommodate the fact that they aren't where they said they were.

Take the Tower of Babel story. God was concerned that the tower they were building would reach heaven, and so had to ruin their plans for some reason. So clearly the people writing this thought heaven was not very far away from Earth.

The idea that God would care about humans, let alone individual ones, is absurd. People just need to feel special.
