For Christians, I have a question for you. When someone dies today, people say that they're now in a better place: in heaven with god where they will remain forever. Now, my question is, if god wants us in heaven, why are we here?
In Genesis, god creates the heavens and the earth, and puts Adam and Eve on earth, not heaven. If gods will was for us to be in heaven with him, wouldn't he of put us in heaven to begin with instead of creating us as humans that can only live on earth? Some may say that things changed after Adam and Eve sinned and Satan came into the picture, but doesn't gods will not change? If gods will was for us to live on earth, then it still is, so why would we go to heaven? And If his will is for us to live in heaven with him, then it still is, but that still leaves the question why we are here first. Can someone enlighten me?

It's all about progression. We've come to earth to gain experience and knowledge. We experience things in life that give us a better understanding of things. Without pain and suffering we cannot know what Joy and happiness is. Progression = more happiness. God wants us to be happy as he is. I know all denominations in Christianity have their differences and one thing that I believe that may differ is that we can continue to progress after this life, but only if we are able to return to God in "heaven".
