: Carl Sagan made this observation of Jesus' asendtion into heaven. He said, and I'm paraphrasing, that if Christ's ascension to heaven was at the speed of light, then he hasn't yet left our universe. Do you think Sagan, like Joseph Rutherford, though heaven to be a literal place beyond our universe? Maybe the Pleadies constellation?

May I remind you that it is a dogma in the whole of Christianity (excepting some marginal sects) postulating exactly that? The dogma of Jesus' resurrection and ascension in his literal, human body infers that heaven is a literalm physical place just a bit further out. Only when science were able to penetrate these realms and it was obvious that there was no God or Jesus to be seen, did the Church and its theologicans push their god-of-the-gaps into some black hole ...
