Why didn't Yahweh just create Heaven with the people/souls he wanted there in the first place?
Why did he create this entire universe (over 100 billion galaxies, each with over 100 billion stars and untold number of planets), just so one of these untold number of planets can be a 'soul filter' to see who gets to be in Heaven?
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
