Don't Christians believe Jesus flew into outerspace after the resurrection? What am I to assume by him being "taken up"? It's obviously implied that heaven is a physical place, and Jesus was ressurrected a human.(Thomas touched him). Try and explain that belief.

(Jun 16 06, 08:45)Haha, no, we don't believe he flew into outer space. He was transposed into the heavenly realm, which I guess can be most simply explained as another dimension of reality, one that we don't usually have tangible experiences of in this world.
The gospels and epistles all state the notion that Jesus was fully God and fully man, the second, perfected Adam, if you will. The fulfillment of God's promises. The bible says that he humbled himself to our position, otherwise he could not have died. But the Deity in him could not be killed, and so death was swallowed in death.
Poetic, even if you don't believe it.
