Does the bible actually say that Heaven is 'up there' and Hell is 'down there'? Just curious....

Top of mind, there are some references to it in versions of the bible. Again, it is very much in the teaching of it IMO
As demonstrated here
These guys are pretty sure it's in the depths of the earth.
I remember Pastors at my high school were of differing opinions as to where it was too.
I think that science influenced christianity indirectly more than directly.
IMO, The main effect of science has been on how much people understand about the world around them. This has meant they spend less time looking elsewhere for answers; a common source of fresh blood for religions.
A direct cause-effect relationship is too simple a relationship to look for when trying to quantify changes like this.
That being said, it's friday arvo here and I'm off
Have a good weekend all
