We learn of the existence of heaven and hell from the teachings of Christ as recorded in the scriptures. What then is "Factual"? If you are looking for concrete evidence either as heaven and hell being literal places or a spiritual condition after physical death, you will not find any.
My intellectual examination of these teachings of Christ lead me to some profound truths. Heaven is a promise and Hell is punishment. You should know that those who do not adhere to the principles of Love and Truth but who live in perpetual addiction, violence and abuse bring misery and pain to themselves and those around them; hell on earth. It is no stretch then to assume that this misery follows such people into judgement after death where there are no secrets but everything will be known about everyone including intentions. It is only by a change of heart that we can receive mercy and healing from such pain which would otherwise follow us in death. Heaven is the promise to those who admit such cruelty and apathy and who receive this mercy from God as promised by Christ and who follow the way of Truth and Love, to face the truth about ourselves and others and to show love and mercy towards ourselves and others. Mercy will be shown to those who show mercy but to those who are cruel and abusive, there will be immense suffering, misery and pain. Forgiveness to those who forgive but damnation to those who are judgemental. So then, Heaven and Hell are an eternal equivalent of our present condition. While we live, there is still a choice.

There are an equal amount of factual findings on the existence of God as there are for Heaven and Hell, which is to say absolutely none.
No matter how many ways you boil it down, the only justification for religious belief is faith.

I know what you are saying. But if God created everything- why did he create a thing as horrible as Hell? I don't find it true because I think God will never make something as cruel as a Hell. But I do think there is a heaven,Because It's a nice place.

If you spend the time, you can come to know that the bible is what it claims to be; given by inspiration of God. That means yes, there is a place that talks about heaven and hell.
By the way....alot of people do not know that the bible is true. Please don't end up being someone who does not pursue this important knowledge.

The only way for anyone to have factual findings of heaven and/or hell would for them to die and come back and bring something back as proof of either place.

Heaven and hell is beyond this universe and galaxies. Until now no telescope has been invented which can see just a few of our galaxies which are in a big number.

To my knowledge, there is no scientific fact that heaven or hell exist. Other than written accounts, in and out of the Bible, that describe events, visions, and phophecy of heaven and hell, I do not recall seeing or hearing of a scientific proof they exist.
But you know they do...
