Question
How will Jesus return? The angels said, how you see Jesus
ascend into heaven will be the same way he will return.
Scientifically speaking, how will Jesus descend? How did
Jesus ascend into heaven? Did he levitate? Did he fly? Was
he taken to another realm or dimension? Does Jesus still
have a body? How can you define the resurrected body of
Jesus?


Answer
Dear Ace,

heaven is not a physical place, somewhere in the universe.
Heaven is a trascendent reality.
Jesus has a body, but the body after resurrection is different from our earthly bodies.

We cannot know how our bodies will be transformed; this we will understand only when we experience our new bodies.

Your brother in Christ,

Marco

PS I think that faith cannot come only from logic, because to have faith in God means to trust and love God.
I think however that logics and science prove the existence of our soul and the existence of  God and that there are many rational arguments strongly supporting the christian faith.
The explanation of these aguments is rather long and Allexperts allows only to give short answers. You can find such arguments  in the following site

http://xoomer.alice.it/fedeescienza/englishnf.html

where  I analyse the incongruencies of the materialistic conception of the mind, on the basis of our present scientific knowledges about brain and matter.
This analysis points out how the laws of physics  prove that the   brain cannot generate consciousness, which existence implies  the presence in man of a unbiological/unmaterial element. The problem of consciousness is then strictly connected to the one of the existence of the soul and, consequently, the existence of God.
In the first article entitled “Mind and brain...” you can find a general discussion of the mind and brain problem from a scientific point of view.
In the second article entitled “Scientific contraddictions in materialism”
you  can find an explanation of the fundamental inconsistencies of  the  typical arguments used by materialists, such as the concept of emergent, macroscopic or holist property, complexity, information, etc.
In the section called “FAQ: answers to  visitors' questions” you can find the answer to many typical questions, such as "Are there any scientifically proved miracles?", "Does the existence of the universe imply the existence of God?", "Can science explain God?", "Can science establish which is the true religion?", "Can science explain consciousness in the future?", and many others.
