Heaven Reads No Vacancies (Part 2)

Assuming then that there are 33 billion people sitting comfortably at or in the gates of heaven, it is safe to assume that these people have come from a very long line of humanity. Given the fact that we only have 6.8 billion people inhabiting the earth right now, which has only doubled to that point in very recent years, 3.9 billion in 1970, it is safe to say that the 33 billion have come from thousands of generations of human existence. This leads me to the next problem with heaven; the language barrier.

It is a difficult concept to grasp, given the incredibly short lifespan of humans in comparison to that of the universe, but just imagine how much language has changed over the recent years. Have you ever sat down with a grandparent, had a conversation, and realized that they are using words that you didn't even know existed? Just think, that is only a difference of two generations. From a heaven point-of-view, that's not even a blip on the radar! You would be interacting with people who, even though they speak the same core language, have so many generations of language alteration that really, the dialects are so different it would be akin to talking to a Frenchman when all you know is Spanish.

Once again, I am basing my arguments on a combined view of heaven drawn from multiple religions, because I'm assuming that they share the same place of spiritual enlightenment. For this reason, I am not taking into account the idea of having a new memory, or forgetting everything you learned on Earth. From a religions P.O.V., that would simply be counterproductive. What good would it do God to have his peons spend their whole life in commitment to him, just to have them forget all their devotion when the ascend to heaven? So, as far as having a community language in heaven goes, I'm ruling it out.

Today's overall summary of heaven's problems: If you plan on going, I'd recommend doing some intensive studying now on the different dialects of your own language. If not, you're going to be communicating with a very small population of heaven, and that will probably get boring fast.
