Who was the first person to go to heaven?

Yes, that's what I was saying. I can imagine that up to now, there must be billions upon billions of people already occupying heaven and hell. But 6.5 billion (current estimated world population) MORE will be on the way there soon.

...since it is a new body (only like the old one) there won't be any amputated limbs, or ashes to ashes stuff, or absense of organs thanks to donations, etc.

In that case what happens to babies who had no chance to sin. When they die, would they go to heaven? And then when they reach heaven, will they remain as babies for eternity? Would they at least get to learn the ability of speech? Or are they cursed in their original forms forever?

Adam? Eve? Did Eve go to heaven? What about the ones that Cain married? Who were apparently not in the garden of eden?

Abel....

i would say, no. babies will not be babies forever. just like old men will not be old me forever. the bible is not clear. jesus' glorified body was that of a 33 year old. one could argue that is age of maturity both physically, mentally, etc. so why not everybody staying around that age forever?

who knows?

i'm sure you meant that as an insult, but i'm afraid it was lost on me. perhaps i'm too stupid to get it. perhaps not. maybe it just wasn't funny. could you tell me if i should be offended or not? thanks.

but, i agree. no xian should ever stand up and say, "i have all the answers." we don't. i have no facts or writings telling me how we are going to look in heaven, hell, or any place in between. i don't know what i'll look like in 5, 10, 40 (god willing) years. the bible is not clear on human appearance in heaven. so you are right...

for sure not christians.
