We have previously discussed the concept of multiple universes and the belief that God resides in one of them.... the one that parallels our physical universe and exists in another dimension.
It turns out science and natural theology are on parallel paths of exploration. We both want to know if multiverse concepts will reveal the characteristics of one or more parallel universes. But it is becoming increasingly evident that science cannot sort through the complex issues unless it is willing to include the not physical with the physical in its search for truth. The same considerations apply to natural theology in our quest to understand characteristics of heaven.
Most of the theories about the laws of small scale physics suggest that when we apply them to our perception of large scale reality, ... our universe is not unique. It is a small step of faith to imagine heaven is actually a parallel universe that co-exists in the Cosmos with the physical universe we can observe. ............a spiritual dimension interwoven with the physical universe.
For me, embracing this relationship requires only a small leap of faith. I call it the Spiritual Universe. Because that is what it is.

PS1: Do your own study. Go to the Internet, find a search engine, and look for articles about God and multiverse theories by searching for ‘heaven multiverse’.
From there, let your imagination take you to even greater knowledge.
PS2: About Heaven and its relationship to our perceived physical universe.
Dimensions are separated by their unique properties and the ways they interact with each other. The first three dimensions are physical: 1 -up, down, 2 - right left, 3 -back forward (depth). Higher dimensions give us additional variations of perceived reality – for example - time.
The transition from one dimension to another adds new properties that create different states of existence. For example, moving from 2D to 3D adds depth, while moving to higher dimensions introduces concepts like time and alternate realities.
Understanding these separations helps in grasping complex theories like super-string theory, which suggests that our universe operates in ten dimensions.
