Okay, here are a few questions about heaven.

If a man remarries after his first wife dies, when he gets to heaven, will he be a bigamist or will his second marriage be annulled, or will the first one be annulled?

Some believe that heaven is a purely spiritual plane while others seem to see it as a physical place with physical beings in it. Do these physical beings have physical needs, like food? And if so, are there toilets in heaven, and where does the waste go?

Now, on to free will. What a meaningless concept. What does it mean? We know that our actions come from the brain, and the brain as a physical entity is a deterministic unit obeying physical laws of chemistry and electricity. Where is the freedom in that schema?

If on the other hand you reply that the brain isn't deterministic because of random subatomic events, where is the will in that schema?

There really is no such thing as free will. Whatever we do we were going to do. Freedom of the will is a myth that evaporates as soon as you examine it.
