Genesis Chapter 1 verse 1:
In the beginning (before you and I existed) God created the heaven and the earth.
So those who like to think they know it all with their limited life span and knowledge, wake up - for your own sake.
God's thoughts are not like ours - Read Isaiah 55:8-9.

Yes there is a Heaven just as there is a Hell.
Being a Christian is like having an insurance against going to Hell.
If were wrong we have lost nothing, if we are right there is a lot of people in trouble.
Jesus Christ is without dispute the only living God

No. Just like the rest of the great apes and every other living creature on the planet, when you die that's it. All that will be left will be your bones and even they won't last that long.
I once had an operation, shortly after that needle went into the back of my hand that was it goodnight nurse. Many hours later I awoke and it was just like you see in those sci-fi deep space pictures where they put people into hibernation and then wake them up years later. After that injection they could have woken me up 1 hour, 1 year, 100 years or never and I'd not have known the difference.
Christians aren't going to heaven if they live pious lives, Muslims haven't got a number of virgins waiting for them if they die for their beliefs, Vikings didn't go to Valhalla if they died in battle and Japanese Kamikaze pilots didn't go to the Shinto version of heaven, whatever it may be called.
That's just what the people who run/ran the show told them to believe, to get them to do as they are told. What's surprising to me is that they actually believe it. But then I suppose it's easier to conform in most societies than to be one of the few to stand against the crowd. Hence the rise of the National Socialist party in Germany in the 30s'

Heaven exists in concept, yes. There are several such ideas. Few if any will be a fair reflection on the state of the physical world, but there is a Heaven in thought if not in deed.

Yes there is heaven and we are living in it now. I know it is not quite as wonderful until when we die, but God says in the bible that his kingdom (which is heaven really) is here and through Jesus we can grab a bit of it now.

YES. Heaven is what you will begin to experience as soon as you
understand that you and God are walking together. By just
realizing that God always thought you were o.k. you can now
believe that you are in fact o.k. and begin to care more for everything else more than yourself. When that happens you
will start knowing Heaven

Yep, unfortunately they had to camouflage heaven to keep the fundies from finding it, but if you go down to 10th and Lebrea you will see a single story brick building with the windows painted over and a sign that says something like "Dons Taco Barn...Ten dollar table dances, and all you can eat taco buffet". That's the place. Just go around the back, and tip the bouncer a $50.

The Kingdom of Heaven is within you.

Yes the Mormons think so and it looks suspiciously like the Grand Canyon with people walking about aimlessly up and down cliff paths shrouded in wispy gowns and mist and they have silver cardboard wings too...at least that was the movie they showed me.
