LONG before scientists came up with the theory of other dimensions, Christians have been saying that Heaven cannot be found by a mortal person no matter if he searched for all eternity. It was said to be on other realm.
Fast forward to the 20th century and you have scientists come up with the theory that there are other dimensions that cannot be observed directly with our five senses. In other words, the scientists were saying what Christians have been saying since the beginning. Heaven is in another dimension. What do you think?

That's quite a coincidence for religion and science to come together like that.

Well there is also a saying there is truth in a lie. The Asian culture has the best records which have aliens and many other things documented. Heaven is different in a lot of Christian religions. Like people are in purgatory until the second coming of Christ comes and kills off everyone.

There is the possibility to dream of walking down a river bank, watching the river, seeing boats floating, hearing birds, talking to people etc. When one awakens, one discovers that the river, boats, people etc. can only be in one place. The mind.
When awake one can experience the same. And it too, is in the mind.
In both the dream state as the awake state of being, the illusions which are perceived as realities, are energy which consciousness by focusing, is creating into these realities.
The concept/word energy, because after all there are no 'solid objects, liquids, gasses' it is all energy, as well in the dream state of being, as in the awake state of being. Energy is eternal, and moves in, out and through forms.
In the awake state of being, language which is a form conditioning, participates in this filtering of consciousness and thus in the reality inter-reaction creation process.
By altering the words, realities also alter accordingly. As an example: The word 'mortal' is related to 'black/white' semantics -life/death.
By refocusing consciousness on the words 'eternity' and 'eternal', realities also alter.
One is eternal and one thus has eternity. Thus 'being a mortal' is a possibility, but not a necessity. Thus, there is choice of realities which are shaped by language.
And thus there is also the choice of knowing 'heaven' as an eternal being.
Time is an illusion, which is relative to the stream of thoughts one has, in the language one uses to think with.
The implications of language is also to be found in a multitude of translations and transliterations of the "Bible'.
The quote: "Count not, for everything is counted" also applies to issues such as '20th century'. This '20th century' concept, deviates from the intention of the quote which is to 'avoid counting' as in order to reach the '20 century' counting is in use.
Christianity has 'some truth in it'. But is it not exclusive in this.

Not a good example.
Consider:
Biblical writers would not want to suggest that 1.) anyone could find it on his own without God's help, or that 2.) the physical world is the same as the spiritual world (after all, part of Christianity is not being subject to the flesh, but to something greater). Belief in a soul itself would suggest something more, but that is not groundbreaking. Besides, Heaven and Hell are not proven.
Also consider that we're talking about different kinds of "dimensions." As we get into the 4th, 5th, etc. dimensions, we're not talking about spiritual realms.

There’s more going on in our everyday lives than we perceive.
Even within the material realm our perceptions are limited.
For example light, what is light? Even though our perceptions are limited we can still understand and conceptualize ideas that correspond with reality. A century ago the idea of “electromagnetic spectrum” would’ve been considered fantasy . Yet we deal with these ideas everyday now , every time we turn on the radio .
Faith is a realization of our limited yet profound ability to perceive the truth around us

I don't recall any accounts of Jesus ascending into the Eight Dimension. Chapter & verse, please.
And we're still waiting for this proof you mentioned, instead of just wild science-fiction-like speculation.

Amazing isn't it?...I find It amazing that Science is finaly finding this truth but I would not think that Science is capable of proving God as it is not by our wisdom that we know God but by his revealtion.
