Besides Heaven, Jesus came so we could discover or re-discover God's original purpose for us - Gen. 1:28.
Meaning besides a heavenly hope for some, there is an earthly resurrection hope of living forever on Earth.
A beautiful Paradisical Earth as described in the 35th chapter of Isaiah.
Hell is an abomination to the sensibilities of most reasonable people.
Annihilation makes a lot more sense for sure, but there’s no point in arguing with God if we are condemned, as there’s obviously no recourse or right of appeal!
Paradise Earth is an interesting concept, but how the hell do all the billions of people that have ever lived continue to coexist in such a place?
Is there also unlimited space?

Revelation insinuates that there is an earth for every overcomer, but overcomers are rare, they need their own multitudes.

Very interesting thoughts ^ above ^. In a nut shell:
For one thing we don't know how many are considered as righteous or unrighteous - Acts 24:15 (hope for them)
There is No biblical hope for everlasting life for the unrepenting 'wicked' - Psalms 92:7; 104:35; 145:20; 2nd Peter 3:9.
Also, once the ' sin issue ' is settled here on Earth, then there could be intelligent life on other planets.(plenty of space)
