Faith makes some think it's fact. For religious people, their belief in an afterlife and heaven is so strong that they accept the story as true. Skepticism and lack of evidence make others think it's fiction.
The lack of scientific proof makes people think 'Heaven is Real' is a fake story. Science deals with evidence that can be measured and tested, and there's no such evidence for heaven.
The lack of scientific proof. Science doesn't support the existence of heaven as described in the story.
The lack of evidence. There's no scientific or objective way to prove the events in the story actually occurred.
Some people think it might be fact because of the existence of secret societies in general. They assume that there could be one super - secret group like the Illuminati among them. Also, they misinterpret certain symbols or events as being related to the Illuminati, for example, seeing an eye symbol on a dollar bill and immediately thinking it's proof of Illuminati influence.
Well, people might be misled into thinking the Illuminati is fact because of a couple of things. First, the allure of mystery and the idea that there are things in the world that are not as they seem. Second, some conspiracy theorists like to connect dots that don't really belong together. For example, they might see patterns in world events or in the actions of powerful people and claim it's the work of the Illuminati. But in reality, these are just normal events that are being given a false and elaborate interpretation. There is no factual support for the existence of such a secret society.
Some people think it's fact because of their strong religious beliefs. The story is in religious texts like the Bible, and for them, that's enough evidence. Others think it's fiction because there's no scientific evidence for a global flood or an ark big enough to hold all species. For example, the idea of collecting all the insects alone on an ark seems impossible.
Well, people who believe the rapture could be fact often grow up in religious communities where this concept is taught as a fundamental part of their faith. The power of religious indoctrination can be strong. Also, the hope for a divine intervention and a better afterlife can make them hold on to the idea of the rapture as a real event. They may also look at the current state of the world, with all its problems, and think that the rapture is a way for God to end the chaos and take the faithful to a better place. However, from a scientific point of view, there is still no evidence to support it.
In my opinion, it can be seen as a bit of both. The book 'Heaven is for Real' is based on a boy's supposed experiences, which for his family and those who share their faith, is a very real account. However, from a scientific and rational perspective, there is no empirical evidence to prove the existence of heaven as described, so it could be considered fiction by non - believers.
The lack of evidence. There's no real proof that the boy actually had such an experience.
Fear and lack of knowledge. People are often scared of the unknown, and when they can't explain something right away, they may jump to the conclusion that it's paranormal.
