Heaven,real or not.....?
Heaven is a fairy tale invented by human imagination. And each person's fairy tale is different.
We imagine that we have "souls," fabricate the concept of "eternal life" and then fantasize a place called "heaven," complete with streets of gold, calorie-free foods, frolicking virgins and whatever else we can come up with. Christians imagine it so vividly and repeat the fantasy so often that they actually believe it to be reality.
How bizarre can the fantasies get? Fly to Cairo and take a look at the Great Pyramid. There is the pyramid itself -- still one of the largest man-made objects on earth. In addition there is the whole mummification process, the disassembled boats, the sacred artwork and so on. All of this was designed to help the pharaoh reach the afterlife. We look at it now and we all know, with absolute certainty, that it was a complete and total waste of time. The Egyptian notion of the afterlife was a fantasy.
The Christian notion of the afterlife is a fantasy in exactly the same way. Heaven is completely imaginary, just like God.

Mark 14:60-65 (New International Version)
60Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, "Are you not going to answer? What is this testimony that these men are bringing against you?" 61But Jesus remained silent and gave no answer.
Again the high priest asked him, "Are you the Christ,[a] the Son of the Blessed One?"
62"I am," said Jesus. "And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven."
63The high priest tore his clothes. "Why do we need any more witnesses?" he asked. 64"You have heard the blasphemy. What do you think?"
They all condemned him as worthy of death. 65Then some began to spit at him; they blindfolded him, struck him with their fists, and said, "Prophesy!" And the guards took him and beat him.
Heavenly Father,
I want to know You as the true and living God. I ask you to forgive me and cleanse me from everything I’ve done wrong. Change my heart, and give me a new life. I turn from false gods and submit my life to your Son Jesus Christ as my only Savior and Lord. Fill me with the power of Your Holy Spirit.
Thank You, Lord Jesus, for paying the penalty for my sins and giving me a relationship of friendship with God as my Heavenly Father

Religion and the concept of heaven were thought of thousands of years before Christianity developed, by people that did not study nature academically.

If you would have believed th Gospel, you would know for yourself that heaven is real, because you would have received the gift of the Holy SPirit, sent down from heaven; and he would have shown you the reality of spiritual things. But because of your unbelief and the hardness of your heart, you are blinded to spiritual realities; and in danger of leaving this life in a state of sin, and descending into the lower regions, where you will never again find any peace, awaiting the Final Judgment of God.
Millions today experience the reality of God in their every day life, because they have believed the Gospel of Jesus Christ, who came down from heaven died for sinners and was raised from the dead.
A few have had special revelations of the realities of heaven and hell....

I agree. Don't get me wrong, there could be an afterlife, but an afterlife that mirrors the Christian notion of heaven, I doubt it.

Doesn't look like you are really asking a question, but my belief is that Heaven is a real place and most likely multidimensional.
