I know what life on earth is like but I don't know what life in heaven is like. I would not want to be here forever, that I know for sure. But since I don't know what life in heaven would be like, how can I say for sure?

neither. I wouldn't want to live forever on earth. Forever is a really long time, and I think that once you do everything for the millionth time it might be a little boring. If suicide was always an option, then maybe it would be appealing, but then it wouldn't be eternal life. As for heaven, the same thing goes. Forever is a really long time, and even if you get everything you want, it would get old after a while. There are only so many things you can do to those 72 or so virgins before you start repeating yourself. After a million years even the best things would be tiresome. And a million years is nothing compared to eternity. An afterlife in heaven would eventually turn into hell I think.
Would I want to live longer than I am going to? Most likely. But by no means would I want to live forever, so neither option appeals to me.

Earth easily, god made man too live in perfect conditions on earth, there were a few problems with that but thats how it will be in the end as the bible teaches, 'the meek shall inherit the earth and find their exquisite delight in the abundance of joy' and the earth will also be a paradise, a perfect world again with perfect people like it was supposed to be. What would you even do in heaven ? Theirs a heavenly government and the bible mostly talks about angels praising god eternally.

Eternal life in Heaven where there will be no more hunger, pain, suffering, wheeping. Where every good deed will not go unnoticed.
And it's a cloud city or something like some people picture it, If you read the word of God you will get to know the real heaven and the Hollywood kind of heaven

Hey, Yahooo! How ya doin'?
I definitely prefer heaven! As so many before me have said; This world would be just too boring! And bein' w/God will be a real blast! I don't even have to worry about not gettin' to do all the things I want when in heaven, because I won't have any of those nasty perversions that haunt so many people's lives here! Of course, I imagine I will have to quit smoking, but I'm sure there will be too many other good things to take it's place for me to miss it. Hey, maybe heaven has tobacco that isn't harmful or annoying! What do you think?
God bless. Keep asking; you'll get there!

I would choose neither because first, i don't see the reason for our existence here on earth.. i don't see why humans are created to this earth.. i would not choose eternal life because i don't beleive in such thing.. As a deist, an agnostic who beleives in God, i can't beleive in such a thing as heaven without seeing any proof.. u will ask me how do you beleive in God then.. it is the logic around that shows the existence of one or more superhuman powers.. this whole thing did not happen by chance but afterlife?? i don't think so

Since life on Earth is familiar and life in heaven is an undefined variable, I choose eternal life in this multiverse.

afterlife in heaven. Because if you have an enternal life on earth you wont be able to go back and fourth the heaven and earth. Plus, that means that you would have to go through a the plagues and wars.

Well the first choice, eternal life on Earth isn't possible. Scientifically the sun's radius is going to expand into a red giant and become large enough to destroy the earth. Plus our galaxy is going to collide into another nearby galaxy. So you can't live on Earth forever, well at least scientifically.

I heard a saying:
If you are a beliver then this (Earth) is the closest you will ever get to Hell.
But if you are not a beliver then this (again Earth) is the closest you will ever get to Heaven.
I certainly hope that I go to heaven as I really wouldn't want to spend eternity somewhere worse than here.
