In line with the Christian movie trend of 2014, Heaven Is for Real opened this Easter weekend. Based on the bestseller Heaven Is for Real by pastor Todd Burpo, it tells the story of his son Colton and his supposed visit to heaven. I went and saw the movie on opening day. Surprisingly, it wasn't terrible—in fact, it may be one of the rare cases where the movie is actually better than the book. It also provides us with the perfect opportunity to discuss some basic critical thinking lessons, so I thought it would be fun to turn our logical eye to Heaven Is for Real.

(At first I was hesitant to do so—I don’t want to be seen as picking on a small child for credulity. But, really, the argument belongs to his father Todd—and many adults take it very seriously. So it’s definitely fair game.)

Just like The Amityville Horror, Heaven Is for Real is said to be based on a true story. Unlike the Amityville horror however, this "true story" is not actually a complete fabrication. (The Amityville Horror story was exposed as a hoax long ago.) That's not to say that I think Colton actually visited heaven—I don’t, and we will discuss why momentarily. But I don't think that Colton, or his family, are making anything up. It's not a hoax—at least, not an intentional one. Colton really did have an experience his parents had trouble explaining. That's also not to say that there isn't some exaggerating going on either. But I believe that Colton’s parents genuinely believe that Colton visited heaven. Their sin is not a moral one—they are not lying. Their sin is an epistemic one: credulity (i.e., a lack of basic critical thinking).

The picture of Heaven is very close to how I have seen it, Especially when I have sent people over ,
I have always seen a little wooden bridge.
but the back drop is the same as I have seen it colours are very bright Beautiful colours very clean and a feeling of peace.

Namaste

I was not able to get the images up but was able to see the news report about Stephen Hawking V the 12 year old boy.
And as much as I admired the brilliant mind of Hawking, I disagreed with many of his comments, the topical one on this thread being that heaven does not exist and in former claims he pooh poohed the existence of God.

I hope that he is smiling down on us now from heaven and letting us know how wrong he was !!!

Well, remember what Winnie the Pooh said:
