Actually I think God built it out of material that we've never known, you ever see transparent gold.
Transparent or not, gold is a lousy building material. But that's not really the point.
Actually, when human beings created heaven, they created it out of rare materials - that which is rare tends to be both precious and desirable. This is why the Christian heaven doesn't have streets paved with goatskin, and why the Muslim paradise seems to take the form of an oasis.
It is a human trait to want what we haven't got (which, incidentally, makes the 10th commandment a bit of a mug's game), so we fill our fantasies not with commonalities, but with rarities.
For the record, do you seriously believe that Heaven is a physical place?

Yes I do, exactly what makes you believe it can't be.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
