Abstract
Christians look forward to heaven, but how much do we really know about it? "And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also...I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:3-6) Two thousand years have passed since the resurrection of Jesus, and myriads of Christians worldwide are "gazing into heaven," expectantly awaiting his return (Acts 1:10-11). At the same time, powerful super-telescopes continually scan distant star systems looking for evolved, extraterrestrial life in a futile hope to find proof that there is no God. But God's Word makes clear that we were created to commune with God and have dominion over his creation. We did not spark into life from a primordial soup or stardust without any purpose or plan.
