ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Proof of Heaven

Imagine you are playing a game where you have to find out if something is real or not. Let's say you are trying to prove that there is a magical land called "Heaven."

To prove that Heaven is real, people usually share their experiences or stories about what they see or feel when they think about Heaven. They may say they had dreams or near-death experiences where they saw Heaven, and it looked like a beautiful place with fluffy clouds, rainbows, and lots of happiness. Some may describe meeting their loved ones who have passed away.

While these stories and experiences are very important to the people who share them, they can't be seen or touched by others. So, it's not easy for everyone to believe in Heaven because people have different ideas and beliefs about what happens after we die.

Scientists, who are very smart people, also study things like Heaven to see if they can find any evidence. They try to use special tools and methods to understand the world around us. However, studying Heaven is tricky because it is something that people believe in, rather than something that can be proven with science.

So, while people can believe in Heaven and share their stories, it is difficult to provide hard evidence like a scientific proof that it really exists. It remains a belief or a hope for many people, and everyone is free to believe in it or not, just like with other things that can't be proven scientifically. What matters the most is that we are kind and loving to ourselves and others, and that we cherish the time we have in this beautiful world we live in.
