No idea if they do or not. I think the main thing is an ignorance of science really, so it probably affects people across the board.

I can understand the confussion though as there are a number of "heavens".

There is the 1st heaven - the atmosphere. The 2nd heaven - space, and the 3rd, God's seat. The 3rd is said to be beyond the 2nd, so take that as you may. I tend to look at it as outside of the universe be it dimensionally or physically.....
