Hoor is a marvel of genetic engineering or just a little tweak in DNA?

I always say this and I will say this again, I am quite certain that there is a lot more to heaven than we are taught from an early age. Our typical maulvi description of heaven and hoors sounds nothing more than a testosterone fuelled fantasy. Perhaps our interpretation of hoors and other perks of heaven is flawed? I believe (and hope) there is a lot more to heaven than rivers of milk and orgies with hot women. This world and all its attractions are supposed to be a sham and mere distraction, in which case whatever there is beyond this life has to be a lot different from it all, including the standards of pleasure and luxury. If that is not the case, then for the sake of my own sanity I would rather be in a nice peaceful place where I grow what I eat - at least I will have something to look forward to, and something to keep me occupied. I really don’t agree with the playboy mansion concept of heaven.

My thoughts are almost exactly like yours. I have a question. How do you reconcile this belief of yours with what the Quran says or does this create doubt in your heart? (because the Quran definitely mentions rivers, silk clothing, hoors etc, so we cannot attribute the perception of heaven merely to Maulvis’ interpretations).

Btw, the concept of hoor for men only is also in line with the allowance of polygamy for men only. So why exactly do some people claim that there will be male hoor for females as well…
