The temperature of Heaven can be rather accurately computed. Our authority is
Isaiah 30:26, "Moreover, the light of the
Moon shall be as the light of the Sun and the light of the Sun shall be
sevenfold, as the light of seven days."
Thus Heaven receives from the Moon as much radiation as we do from the Sun, and
in addition 7 x 7 (49) times as much as the Earth does from the Sun, or 50 times
in all.
The light we receive from the Moon is one 1/10,000 of the light we receive from
the Sun, so we can ignore that.
The radiation falling on Heaven will heat it to the point where the heat lost by
radiation is just equal to the heat received by radiation, i.e., Heaven loses 50
times as much heat as the Earth by radiation. Using the Stefan-Boltzmann law for
radiation, (H/E)^4 = 50, where E is the absolute temperature of the earth
(-300'K), gives H as 798'k (525'C).
The exact temperature of Hell cannot be computed. However, Revelation 21:8 says
"But the fearful, and unbelieving ... shall
have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone."
A lake of molten brimstone [sulphur] means that its temperature must be at or
below its boiling point, 444.6'C.
We have, then, that Heaven, at 525'c is hotter than Hell at 445'C.
Anyway - whoever said that heaven or hell is a physical place? If you dig deep
enough through the earth's crust, you will reach the core which is basically
molten lava (don't know if thats hotter or colder than brimstone and sulphur
) and
may be as hot as hell, but I don't think that it IS hell.
And heaven doesn't lie in space - otherwise all the shuttles and satelites would
have been recalled due to all the angelic interferance.

My tip in both cases ... wear suntan cream.
As long as heaven has some sort of an atmosphere, maybe we wont need so much suntan. :p
Nice one! Quite funny!

yeah
heaven, hell, santa, weapons of mass destruction in iraq... all the same good night stories
LOL....interesting equation....
very funny...looks like it is cooler to go to hell.
