Does that answer your second question?
Not really but, as you indicated, your aim is to state the way you see it more than
why you see it as you do. Personally I find it hard to work out how you could infer the amount of complexity that is present in yoru view of the heirarchy of heaven. Once again, I understand people trying to make claims about the nature of existence, dependence etc... and how they necessitate some kind of all powerful creator. However, this is a very minimal kind of inference --> it might tell you that there
is some higher being but I am very doubtful that it could tell you specifics about their nature, e.g. that their name is fred, that they surround themselves with 10 breeds of angels, 6 of which have wings, and so forth. While I realise my examples are flippant and exagerated I nonetheless think that the amount of detail present in your conception of heaven makes it difficult to fathom how those details might be verified/believed.
Of course, if you don't want to lay out your reasoning in this thread (I will admit, my past history in this thread probably doesn't invite you to do so!) then that is fine.

Btw, can medicine really be combined with other degrees? I told some of my collegues that somebody chose a combined degree with medicine and they laughed at me because they thought degrees like that don't exist.
Yeah man, definitely. A few examples off the top of my head:
BA/MBBS @ UNSW
BA/MBBS, BSc/MBBS @ University of Queensland
MBBS/LLB (Med/Law) @ Monash University
BScMedSci(hons)/MBBS ---> At many (/most?) med schools in the country
