I believe that paradise (or heaven) is a promise that most of the major religions hold over people to make them conform to their way of thinking. I don't need that promise to make me behave.I know the difference between right & wrong & I behave accordingly.

Your conduct and doing the right things for youself, family and others is what will decide paradise and hell. Truth, sometimes difficult, will ultimately help. So yes I do believe in paradise and hell. It almost seems logical because you can't be rewarded being a bad person.

So God is just and will reward the GOOD and PUNISH the BAD.

The original Paradise for mankind was on earth. In Psalm 115:16 It states To God the heavens belong, but the earth he has given to sons of man.
Psalm 37:29, The rightous themselves will posess the earth and they will forever reside upon it.:

I think you meant, graffiti.
Yes, I believe in Paradise. The definition of Paradise is a beautiful park, or a parklike garden.
As a Bible Student I find that the Bible refers to Paradise as a cleansed earth, free from pollution, war, crime, violence, poverty, hunger and greed. Even sickness will be unheard of.
Interestingly, many Bible passages about Paradise are simply descriptions of life on earth. For example, a prophecy of Isaiah states: "They will certainly build houses and have occupancy; and they will certainly plant vineyards and eat their fruitage." (Isaiah 65:21) Where are houses built and vineyards planted? Where is fruit eaten? On the earth. Proverbs 2:21 explicitly states: "The upright are the ones that will reside in the earth."

Sawali.
True the body does go back to dust. But for those who have died, the Bible talks of a resurrection to the earth, given a new body. Jesus was given a new body when he was resurrected. However the resurrected person will be recognisable because of his characteristics. If God could create a body it would be no problem to give a dead person a new body.
Will try and remember for future.
The purpose of the physical body is because when God created the heavens and the earth, the heavens he filled with spiritual creatures. He then said that the earth was for man to live. Physical creatures cannnot dwell in heaven.
