This comes from a discussion I had with a christian friend who said that he believed heaven existed as a physical place somewhere in the universe. As an atheist I don't believe in God, but i'm interested in knowing whether christians believe something similar to my friend. If they do, does this stem from a belief that God himself is also a physical being?

You know God once before destroyed the Tower of Babel by making everyone speak different languages so that the work could not continue on the building project , because He wanted to prevent people from climbing on in to Heaven before they had died. It seems like they would of ran out of oxygen before they could of reach Heaven, but who knows. I hope no one trys to send a rocket ship to Heaven, because God would destroy it for sure. Thats cheating. You must die first, and then you might be able to enter the Gated Community known as Heaven.

Originally posted by MonsieurGeethe gate of heaven and hell are hidden from our eyes, the eternal suffering of hell and the glory of heaven seems to give the physical, Even jesus had to change from our physical to the heavenly physical, when he told mary not to touch him as he was not yet transformed. But we are told we are in gods image and mosses saw the back of gods head, and christians have a belief of spirits they have form but not solid as we are. hope it helps.

I'm Christian based in my beliefs but you won't find me supporting the borrowed Zoroastrianistic ideas of heaven and hell. They seem pretty silly to me.
Not that what he said ever seemed to matter, but Jesus talked about being with his father in Paradise. No mention of heaven and hell; as I say, those are concepts borrowed from another religion.

So there's no way that aliens could invade heaven and take over? I just think it would be quite funny if a bunch of bug eyed aliens turned up at the gates and invaded.....
Also if heaven is a physical place, how big is it?
Lol, if a Dalek turned up at the gates and tried to exterminate people that would be rather amusing from my perspective,
