Many people wonder if heaven exists, and if so, what it consists of. There are many theories that will tell you different stories of heaven. In the bible heaven it is named Eden, where man can walk and talk at the side of God. Heaven is an intangible place where only the true ideals of life can be realized. On earth there is no way to know the true meaning of life. People can never fully comprehend the reason behind existence.

Heaven cannot be corrupted by evil. With God in control the outside sources cannot influence the forces in heaven.

Freedom is felt with none of life's possessions or expectations influencing the lives of many. Materialism is a major factor in the lives of many people in our world. In heaven the want for others' possessions is not felt. There is no need to worry about objects because all that could be needed is provided. There is no want or need for any tangible goods because what is provided becomes much more important. Souls are provided a wealth of knowledge worth much more than anything on earth. There is no
