If there's no evidence for heaven then it means the sky actually has an end, and the planes and all theses things that NASA uses to go to moons could infact hit the 'wall' of the sky. Anyway it's irrelevant. How many kilos/miles tall (is it the right word) does scientists say the sky is?

Clouds are actually solid objects as well, I can't believe you people are unaware of this. Throw a stone up at the sky and you'll knock a cloud down.
Riding on the cloud, you'll find Lord Lucan riding Shergar and the cloud being pulled along through the sky by unicorns, dragons, talking snakes and possessed pigs.
No, here's how it works. The sky is all the air above the Earth, and the water and shit in it.
There are no walls because the Earth is round.
The sky is... I wanna say 5 miles high?
And it gets thinner as you go up, so it's kinda hard to say, but I think around 5 or 6 miles there's basically no air left.
Or is it 60?
Wow, I never thought of that.
But wouldn't you have the same problem if you assumed that heaven existed anyway? Couldn't NASA rockets on their way to the moons hit the "wall" of heaven?

Are you fucking kidding me?
Well, around 14 billion LY and counting......
fucking douchebag.
Nonono, to the posters who think the universe is only 14 billion light years across, you are wrong.
The universe is approx 92 billion light years across, see Observable universe
Hay, brother! Welcome to the year 1000AD. I don't know all this strange language thou speak in the year 2000. "Driving automated mobiles", heh, it's funny. I'm surprised you are in fact alive, and that Lord Jesus Christ hasn't returned in your time.
Well, I must be off. God be with you, brother!
The 'Wall' of the sky is the bible's evidence FOR the existence of heaven. It's the 'firmament' (Firm, as in a lid) that separates the water above the sky (That falls as rain) from that below the sky.
No wall; no heaven.
As you can see from the disparity of replies here, your question is (exactly) as stupid as asking 'how high is 'up'?' The answer depends on exactly what you mean by your question; our different responses depend on our differing best guesses as to what you're really asking.
Even if there IS an edge to the universe (And we have no more reason to think the Universe has an edge than we do to think the world has an edge), the fact that such an edge must be at least 84 billion trillion kilometers away blows the bible's account right out the window. If you don't understand why that is so utterly impossible, do some homework; you'll be the better for it.
THE SKY DOES NOT WORK THAT WAY.
And actually um, it's the BIBLE that claims the sky is a solid object.
LOL WHUT.
The Pear has spoken!!
So that's how the crippled Apollo 13 made it back to earth. It bounced off the rubbery wall at the end of the sky.
That makes perfect sense. I've been wondering about it for the past 40 years. Thanks for clearing it up.

You could always pay Roscosmos millions of dollars to have them send you up to the International Space Station. Fellow South African Mark Shuttleworth has already done so (via a Soyuz spacecraft):

...that good for you, rza?
And never mind the Biblical model of the universe, this'll completely fuck your mind:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiverse
Cosmologists have already proven (with equations) the existence of eleven dimensions.

Seems that the Large Hadron Collider won't just destroy Genesis in the Bible, via the Higgs-Boson alone.
Heaven, as in a place where we supposedly go after death (if we've been good), has no evidence in its favor. Heaven, as in the sky above us, does, and it has no end, really, as far as we know.
"All these things that NASA uses to go to moons" haven't hit any wall of sky yet, even though they (and the Russians) have been at it for fifty-three years.
rza here has conclusively defined 'Waste of Oxygen/DNA'.
This moron is too stupid to live .
The Church of England openly admit that much of the Bible is purely fable & metaphor.

And if they know that the Jim Carrey film "The Truman Show" is not a documentary, then you Bible literalists wonder why you lot are losing in the grand Fundamental st Christainity vs. Atheism war...?!
Clicking on the quote link, seems they grow 'em cynical in South Africa.
Seeing the others in that thread tearing rza a new one, and generally doing a proto-Gerrie Nel, re. Oscar Pistorius on this subnormal fundie twat (as that quote was from 2008); especially his reply - a desperate face-saving 'attempt' - between Postman Pot's & Datrix's posts on that page, is an absolute joy to behold.
...oh, and as the Spartans would say in their Laconically Witty way, o rza: 'If. ' >:D
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
