But that is not what you quoted. What was correctly stated was:
"...heaven, a place that cannot be visibly seen with the eyes, not because it is an invisible or figurative place, but because it is a literal and physical place that is far above among the stars and is therefore unreachable to man..." [Note: that should say "beyond the stars"]
This is perfectly true, especially when we recall that God and Christ are presently in the heavenly city New Jerusalem, along with all the saints and angels (Heb 12:22-24).
But it's not true. The idea of "among the stars" still means this material dimension we live in, which includes the whole known universe and everything in it. God's Abode and where the angels are is in a whole different dimension altogether.
Heb 11:3
3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.
KJV
Material matter did not create material matter.
That is one of the main laws of physics. Although it reveals the creation of this world, it also reveals the existence of two separate and distinct dimensions of existence, the material one, and the invisible immaterial one. What that verse reveals goes a lot deeper though, and is very profound. It is proof of God's existence.
The proof given there is about material matter which cannot be created nor destroyed (by us, nor by any material object). Matter can only change its state, like liquid, solid, vapor, gas. The mere existence of material matter, and that it cannot be destroyed, is proof that something outside of material matter is what created it. We call Him our Heavenly Father, The Creator. The atheists still don't know what or who it is, because they are looking for something material that created the world, which is impossible.
