Might heaven be at the centre of the universe?

[flobadob]

Say there is a heaven, and assuming it's an actual place rather than in our minds. Would it make sense that it would be located in the centre of the universe or in an around the point of the alleged big bang?

[rojash]

If you are going to start with a far-fetched hypothesis, you may as well continue with another!
You might equally argue that it surrounds the Universe, and is constantly expanding to take in more souls - or that it's on platform 9 3/4 of KIng's Cross station.

flobadob, why, in the middle of your question, do you ask "would it make sense" when the first part of your question makes no sense at all? How can you superimpose sense on nonsense?

[bibblebub]

Have you been watching Star Trek V?

[RATTER15]

Nonsense!!!

[claymore]

flobadob... what are you smoking?

some people do have trouble with the notion of hypothetical questions, don't they?

[Theland1]

I love hypothetical questions. I once suggested the possibility of an ABer coming home to find his house had been spontaneously redecorated. "How absurd," was the chorus. Yet, it is also suggested that the universe itself was spontaneously brought into being with no rhyme or reason, and self replicating molecules, our ancestors no less, also owed their genisis to random spontenaity.
It seems like a lack of consistency here, in my humble opinion, that is.

Theland, the more we learn about the nature of God's well guarded secrets of creation and how He dunnit, the more redundant the Creator and our capacity to deal with His shortcomings becomes.

Not really seeing as 'heaven' and the 'big bang' are pretty much opposing points of view regarding the nature of the universe.

^^ According to someone not too far from here, the big bang and the bible have much in common with regard to the origin of the universe. I did ask for an explanation, but none was forthcoming.

[chakka35]

jno, hypthetical questions must have something behind them that makes them interesting to discuss. It isn't a question of "having trouble with them" but of seeing no point in them. How about these..

Assuming that the Santa story is true what if his reindeer get hungry halfway through Christmas Eve, where does he find food for them?

Assuming that unicorns exist, do they grant everyone's wishes or just those of a select few?

Assuming that strologists can predict the future....... and so on?

Theland, I answered your question when you first put it out years ago. Do you really want me to go through it again?

[boxtops]

but - I don't think anyone knows where the centre of the universe is anywhere, it being without boundaries?

[chakka35]

Sorry --- "astrologists".

[flobadob]

Hey, this was a hypothetical question, I'm not questioning the existence or not of heaven but trying to think where it may be if it did exist. I think its debatable.

[naomi24]

I can't give you an answer, because I have no idea, but considering a lot of people believe heaven exists, I think it's perfectly reasonable to ask them where they think it is.

[naomi24]

And ........which direction is 'above' the earth ........ and how far did he go?

[bigfoot3000]

Isn't heaven and hell meant to be situated in another dimension? If heaven and hell were in our universe how would they stop all of us piling in heaven before our time, especially after hearing that it was filled with free booze and naked chicks?
