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?
That's why you do not understand Christianity, you think it's all about getting into heaven, you're sorely wrong. The creation of the universe was for God to enjoy now and the new one will be for all the saved. Also the universe and it's immensity is a witness to God in the past and now.

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.
