Is There a Heaven?

Steven Hawking, the brillant physicist, recently shared some of his thinking about heaven. Bottom line.....IT AIN'T THERE AND NEITHER IS GOD! He contents that the need for life after death is for those who are "afraid of the dark". Dr. Hawking is an Astrological Physicist. He theorizes,calculates and pontificates on matters related to the Cosmos. Hawking has some authority to speak of Heaven since we are always pointing upward into his "field of study", the sky, when we talk of Heaven. So, he says if we are looking for a place called Heaven in the world he studies, we are not going to find it.

My question is not weather Hawking's is right or wrong, but how he arrived at his conclusions?
Although I have never met him, I do know that Hawking's is a scientist and scientists follow the scientific method. His thinking about Heaven comes from his belief in his calculations, theories and general wealth of empirical data gained from his scientific research. So there, I've answered my own question.

Do you believe in Heaven? If you are a believer, what are your concepts of Heaven? What is it? Where is it? Your beliefs about anything have some point of genesis. You believe BECAUSE....You have reasons for your beliefs/thinking. What are your reasons? That is my point in this Blog. Think about why you Think the way you think.You may find that there are credible reasons why you believe. Then again, you may find some of your reasons rather incredible.

Our first step toward becoming the person we want to be is to discover how we got to be the person we are. And that involves a through investigation of our thinking, our beliefs. Then we can go a step further and investigate why we believe those things.

So, what do you believe about Heaven? What about Hell? What about God? What about creation? What about evolution? Now ask yourself why you believe all that?
