If the history of how you get somewhere is part of your state, and I think it is, then the only way to "create" someone with a given history is for them to live it.

What the "history" has made you is already known and you will exist in a known state at the moment you enter heaven.

I agree with Steamer on this one. Christians may think that you need history, but all you really need is the memories of history. It need not be real or have even actually happened to you in a real or virtual state (As in programmed in VS physical experience). I may have a memory of going to Kings Island last month, but I didn't actually go. The memory was planted there, and I have no way to determine if it's real or not. (Unless the planter is incompetant and plants enough clues to let me know it wasn't real.)

On other topics, this is one of the best heaven / afterlife threads I've seen in a while. May god(s) bless it's growth.

Not as much play as I'd hoped. Is it a theist thing to ignore the tough questions?
