Now that I'm an atheist, I can't help but wonder if the Bible in so many words, infers that heaven is space? If you are religious, "where" do you believe heaven is? What is it? (your opinion is fine, but if you could describe how you arrived at that, it would be good) I'm not looking for necessarily a logical discussion about the after life because there is no evidence for it. But rather, when you think of heaven, what do you believe your holy book is describing? (Space? Universe?)
I've thought about that quite a lot, myself.
When I was told about christianity and so on at a young age, I started worrying a lot about about that stuff. It would perhaps interest you that before I was told about that, I did not think about it at all.
I have a belief, but I don't really have any proof. I believe that at the moment of death, our identity is simply eradicated.
