That is quantum immortality. On this list I have defend this, but Tegmark rejected it, and claimed that the survival to quantum suicide does not entail quantum immortality.

Unless there are intimidate realities in between Earth and Heaven. That is the whole subject of mathematical theology. Computer science justifies jumps and intermediate realities. It is not an obvious subjects, but the nuances given by incompleteness provides some light. Some personal experience, like with some plants, can help, but can also mislead.
