Why do you believe that Heaven and Hell are here on earth?

Maybe there are no proofs these places exist yet, but if a proof it could exist how it would be?, science will never believe cause they try to explain everything, unless that they see it directly but what if it is beyond of this world? It's not that I don't like to live or something but I really don't think that all we can see and touch it's all what there are... Why is there evil and goodness? Aren't these proof of something higher? wherever I see I can find proofs of a design made by a unknown inteligence, I mean, colours, flavors, sounds and music, textures, fragances, beautiful things that we can see like flower, trees, animals, is all of these things just coincidence? and it is all that it could exist?

Behind every created thing lies some type of creator. When you see a painting how did it get that way? Obviously a painter had something to do with it, right? Or about a television set? Did it decide to one day just appear for the sake of entertaining people? No, someone invented it, which is the same as creating. So yes, the plants, animals, land, oceans and seas, and then some, and even us are not here by accident. We didn't create ourselves and we did not happen by chance. Go outside and take a breath of fresh air. Surely, you can't see the air right? But you can feel it when you breath in and out. This is the same with God. He is like air. We know we can't see Him, but we can feel Him when we really reach out. I think later today I will watch Jesus of Nazareth. It is a very touching movie about God sending His Son for our sake. The near ending always makes me want to cry though.

Why are my statements illogical? It is true that for something to be in this world, there must be a creator behind it. It is logical as any scientist will tell you. The problem we have is that we expect to see something in front of us. And yet, when science taught us about air before we even knew what molecules were, we believed it. Why is that? Further more, I've never seen molecules of air. Yet I believe air exists because I can breathe it in. As for God inventing Himself, no. God isn't in the list of created things because if so that would mean He is a created being too. Just like you wouldn't put a car into the same class as a dog, God cannot be thrown into the class of created beings or objects.

There have been many times I've wondered the same thing as you. My brother has as well. I've done a little research and I am still researching on the matter, because as you know humans always need a concept of time. We need to know what time is, how it is established and how it can be further used. Everything inside that time was created. What's outside of time is not created. And for that matter, deep down everyone wonders where God came from. The difference is, for those of who trust Him accept Him as He says He is. Also, it's not important that something was created or not created, but the fact that it exists. By the way, your username has me curious. Why did you choose the Lamb Lies Down for it?

okay well. Lets say for a little bit that God created everything known and unknown in the whole universe. Then what if something created God and everything in God's Universe and something created that thing and maybe it has no ending point and maybe there are universes that us Humans have created and there is this giant universe which is made up of nothing but all of the universes. I don't know just an Idea....

I believe Heaven and Hell are the places that exist in our mind and nowhere else. After we die, we will go to live in the memory of those who continue to live after us. If we have not caused them pain during our sojourn on earth, they will recall us lovingly. They would miss us. They will praise us or even honor us. Don't we build memorials for the great persons after they die? We commemorate the year after year. Whenever we do so, they are in a state of eternal bliss. What about the people like Hitler, Mussolini, and Saddam Hussein? People curse them for the havoc they created while they lived. Whenever people remember them, they shower their curses, and abuses on them. Each time they do so they torment their soul. Whenever this happens, they are in hell. It is like being stung by thousand scorpions at one time. They are forgotten in the pages of History. No one likes to remember them. They sink into the depth of unconscious. There they lie with no hopes of resurrection. That is the real hell for them. When people fondly remember them then they are in Heaven.

maybe that statements are true. Im always wondering that if another planet has its own life do they also have animals? do they also have trees? do they eat? do they sleep? do they speak? im always wondering if how this thing works, how universe works. I think there is something behind all these conspiracy. I mean this isn't a coincidence. Maybe there is something that awaits us. I also wondering if heaven and hell exist. Cause i read some kind of article about humans. They said that the human body is only a vessel or a machine. And our spirit or soul is some kind of source of its own energy to move. So they said that if the machine die or the body die. The source will leak or it wanders around and that we call them ghost. Well i dont believe in that stuff. I still believe in christianity.

I believe heaven and hell is our looks and thoughts. There is nothing external. What we see, live are real. For me Best heaven is our sweet home, where we have extreme freedom.The best hell is my garage, coz though we clean it stinks and gets dumped with spare parts and stuffs, i got fed up cleaning it very week.

I fail to see how any of this has to do with whether or not Heaven and He11 is on Earth. As to your question about flowers, trees, an animals are just coincidence the answer nothing is coincidence. Everything happened because of natural selection or is man made. A wolf is do to natural selection, but a dog is man made. Some flower are do to nature but some man have crossed two or more to create a new flower, same with trees.

I believe in the concept of Karma that it why to me both heaven and hell are right here in this world. Its basically ‘as you sow, so shall you reap’…its in our hands to create the atmosphere around us which can give us peace and happiness. Money, fame, ambition, enjoyment…all these are necessary but we have to know within ourselves when and where to draw the limit so that they do not becomes vices and drag us down to the hell of our own making. However nature and creation as you say, is something different. We have no control over them yet, no matter what our level of knowledge is. I’ve always maintained that protecting, saving or killing life maybe in our control but we have not been able to create life, yet.

Hell does not exist. Some do think the consequences for bad choices seem like hell. As far as Heaven, we will all know God's unconditional love that heals all hurt.There is nothing better.As for scientists,never worry for they are walking toward God even if they do not realize this.People think scientists are so smart yet mankind is just now really starting the path to knowledge. Quantum physics points to scientists that our universe isn't the only thing out there. Babysteps, yes even at babysteps mankind will understand one day. We do have eternity to discover you know.
