God invented time, space and physics as a way for us to live. Nobody made God,
He's been around forever, in as much as forever can exist without time as a
reference.

Heaven with God is an idea from the Bible, if you think that's perplexing,
read the rest of it. I think that Heaven is not a place you can get to, it is
a state of being fully in God and knowing Him fully, as He knows you now. It's
outside of time or physics or anything else that this world needs in order to
survive.

No.

They don't exist.

No, it's called _eternal_ life, I think it is described that way to emphasize
that it won't ever end, because something outside of time can not end.

No, He can't die. He _is_ life.

It's not.

The Bible is chock full o' stuff about all this. Also, I know a few different
guys whom you could email if you're really interested in how God feels about
our lives on earth and in Heaven. They've studied it extensively, and pretty
much devoted their whole lives to telling people what they've found. Lemme
know, HTH.
