< STRONG No. Logically, you can’t say heaven doesn’t exist in any part of this universe, because it takes all knowledge to declare this statement.
This type of statement is called a universal negative.
It is like saying there is no gold in all of Europe.
You can’t say there’s no gold in Europe until 1) you have defined what gold is and all the different states it can be in, and 2) you have searched every ground and skin (people wear gold) all at the same time.
Likewise, until 1) you have defined what heaven is and all the different states it can be in and 2) you have searched every single corner in this universe (visible and invisible) and different dimensions (which by far we have no access to if it does exist), you can’t truly state this universal negative.
We can’t even travel around the universe, let alone, find heaven
The universe you might say is unlimited with inconceivable depth of what is yet to be discovered. And some scientists tell us there is more to the universe than what we have. If the universe being physical is something we haven’t mastered, as to determine all the things that exist, how then can we really say that heaven can’t exist?
You need limits
In order to state whether something exists or not, you'd need to create limits/boundaries, which is also called a Set in mathematics. For example, a Set is defined by what it contains. Let’s say a set named A contains the numbers {3,4,8,10}. And let’s say we know this 100% for sure. Then to say 7 doesn’t exist is to be 100% correct.
Now we know everything that this set contains.
But we don’t know everything that our universe contains. It can even contain hundreds of dimensions that we don’t know of.
That’s why it’s risky business to state heaven doesn’t exist.
>> But if heaven is in a different dimension or so, then it's like trying to prove that the flying spaghetti monster doesn't exist.
The spaghetti monster can be invisible and fly every where we can't get to, and
< True, and that's why we can't prove the non-existence of a lot of things.
But we can certainly prove that a certain heaven isn't real if it is physical, visible, on earth, and obviously in front of us, when there is death and suffering... likewise we can certainly prove that the flying spaghetti monster isn't real if it is physical, visible, and on earth, and obviously in front of us.
< No. What if Heaven kept relocating?
You'd have to be lucky so that heaven stays in its spot, otherwise you'd be looking in one corner when it has just moved away from there. We don’t know if heaven is mobile like how Earth isIn a sense, you have to make sure you’ve either searched everywhere in the universe quickly enough (so that things don’t move around), or you need to have all knowledge of the universe.
