The Paradise is here but we made it a Hell for many of our fellow creature. The Paradise is a Persian invention, isn't it? Some people refer to the Bible, but this book doesn't give any proof of anything - it is poetry - trying to give philosophic answers to less educated people some thousands years ago. Some of the philosophic thinking in the Bible is really good and will last forever, but to use the writings as a proof is to go too far.

Okay here is where you need to read carefully.
Hell is the grave, believe it or not and paradise is still coming. Right now if you are a Jehovah's witness you are living in a spiritual paradise. but paradise is only coming after Armageddon.For more info go to this website

There is no fiery burning HELL; that's a manmade idea, not Almighty God's. The Bible is very clear in stating that the soul is subject to death, saying: “The soul that is sinning—it itself will die.” (Ezekiel 18:4, 20) Also, The Catholic Douay Bible, at Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10, says: “The living know that they shall die, but the dead know nothing more. Neither have they a reward any more: for the memory of them is forgotten. Whatsoever thy hand is able to do, do it earnestly: for neither work, nor reason, nor wisdom, nor knowledge, shall be in hell [Sheol, AS], whither thou art hastening.” So, since the “dead know nothing more,” or as the King James Version says, “the dead know not any thing,” it would be impossible for them to know conscious torment. And since there is no work in hell, how can there be activity, red-hot or otherwise?
God has stated the penalty for disobedience: “The wages sin pays is death” (Ro 6:23). What is “death”? Death is the opposite of life. God had held before man the prospect of endless life on earth if he obeyed. However, he disobeyed, and the penalty was death, unconsciousness, nonexistence. (Psalm 146:4) God had said nothing about transferring man’s life to a spirit realm or to a fiery “hell” if he disobeyed or died. He had warned man: “You will positively die.” (Genesis 2:16, 17) What all men have inherited from Adam is dustlike death.—Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10; Psalm 115:17.
HEAVEN is where God and his faithful spirit family dwell. These are not creatures of blood and flesh; they were created before our earth was created upon which we creatures of blood and flesh now live. Those heavenly “sons of God” are spirit, as God himself is, and they are absolutely distinct in nature from us earthly human creatures.
Heaven is also the seat of God's Kingdom (government). Those relatively few from the earth who go to heaven will have a specific purpose there. The Bible tells us that " ... they will be priests of God and of the Christ, and will rule as kings with him for the thousand years.”—Revelation 20:4-6. Compare also (Rev. 5:6-10) This will benefit all mankind.
God created man from the earth to live on the earth. He did not create humans to live for a little while here on earth then go to live in heaven. Although we all grow old and die now because of Adam and Eve's rebellion, God’s original purpose for the earth will still be fulfilled. In the beginning it was God’s purpose for obedient humans to live forever in an earthly Paradise. And God never fails to accomplish what he purposes! His Word plainly promises: “The righteous themselves will possess the earth, and they will reside forever upon it.”—Psalm 37:29.
We can look forward to the very real hope of the resurrection and the opportunity to live forever right here on a PARADISE earth. The Bible tells how Jehovah will bring this about.

Its a scientific fact that we live in 10+ dimensions and only 4 are knowable . You can bet that Hell is real and is separation from God and Heaven is real. Check out the Bible ,its all there.

Hell is not a physical place. If it were physical it would be limited in it's torment, paradise as well.

I believe it's all here on earth. Mixed up just like the Yin and Yang sign. We just have to find our personal heaven in between the hell.

hell is situated quite close to paradise, however there is some vacant land in between and that is called purgatory!
