Is Heaven for real? Randal Rauser vs Hemant Mehta - Unbelievable?

Randal Rauser says we are wrong to imagine heaven as clouds, harps or a never-ending church service. In his new book What on Earth do we know about Heaven? he unpacks the Biblical view of heaven as a 'renewed earth'.

Hemant Mehta, known online as The Friendly Atheist, explains why he believes heaven is a projection of our desires and nothing more. They discuss the evidence, whether heaven and hell are a divine carrot and stick, and if there is a heaven would an atheist want to be there?
