The word "heaven" is found in the Bible 500 times. It is used to describe three different heavens that exists.
Three Heavens:
heaven 1 = atmospheric heaven (the sky)
heaven 2 = stellar or celestial heaven = (outer space)
heaven 3 = divine heaven (the abode of God)
Contrary to popular belief, there is no seventh heaven.
@nycfunction,
how about an actual heaven> When did humans first start making up a legend about an afterlife?
@farmerman,
The ancient Sumerian "Legend of Gilgamesh" (which is plagerized by the OT) contains references to "the afterlife". But I would imagine that burials with artifacts "for use in an afterlfe" would predate such textual references.
@fresco,
One of my favorite songs as a kid was "The SUmertime Blues"
I'm in heaven when we're dancing cheek to cheek.
Finding my way to heaven, and heaven is in your eyes.
This guy is apparently a bible nazi, and is very poorly informed. Talmudic scholars recognize seven heavens. There is a hadith from Ali (cousin and son-in-law of the Prophet) which refers to seven heavens.

Contrary to the opinion of some babbling, ignorant christians:
seven heavens
Paradise (Pairadaeza) is an old Persian word meaning garden. Everybody who was anyone had one.
You should give all of us a break, you moral superiority nazi.
I wanted to find a song with nazis and heaven in the lyrics as a public service. Mission accomplished.
Well, I wanna be a Nazi
Cause I’d like to kill some guys
Then I thought, “Ah, crap! I’m not from Germany”
So I’m stuck to slaying some flies
I got the paper
And soon I was so glad
Americans
Had formed a Nazi Party
I moved out and joined them men instead
Hitler mustache, and a helmet
I wore to lead our grand triad
Killing those of Jewish religion
Playing: “Hey! Catch the grenade”
If you’re psycho join our army
We plan to make Mel Brooks maimed
And then Bill Nye The Science Guy
And a few who can’t be named
Oh…
Been killing the Jews today
Been hitting the booze today
Oh…
We soon will see Hell’s flames
Oh…
But those Nazis get deutsch babes
Oh…
Since I don’t got no passing grades
“Third Reich!”
(Solo)
While out there we’re all goose-steppin’
We won’t make it into Heaven
Since Hitler has our affection
(He gives me a hard erection!)
While the Jews they all despise me
But the Nazis they baptized me
And this don’t at all surprise me
I’ll shoot Adam Sandler (See there’s some appeal)
American Nazi Party
American Nazi Party
American Nazi Party
Can’t do without… the Nazis
Stumble It!
