Correct [the boy killed by a Christian drunk driver goes to hell, while the latter goes to heaven]. However, you seem to forget that God is the One Who determines when a person will die, and if He allowed the young boy to die in that state, the implication is that he never would have changed in heart anyway. The man, though sinning by driving dangerously, is still saved for eternity, since in his heart he is willing to accept Jesus' offer of salvation. He does lose some rewards, though. Again, justice and mercy are maintained.

There was no death or suffering before the Fall. If an earthquake or 'natural disaster' could have occurred which did not result in any death or suffering, then YEC allows that earthquakes and 'natural disasters' might have occurred before the Fall.

[Arguing that God has a white beard]The reasoning that I used is this: God made man in His image, and men, naturally, grow beards; Jesus took on human form as a Jewish man, and ascended to Heaven in the form of a Jewish man; it was a DISHONOR for a Jewish man not to have a beard - therefore, Jesus had a beard during His ministry and also after His resurrection, and when He ascended to Heaven (it can be assumed that Jesus has kept the appearance with which He ascended, excepting that His hair is all white now, apparently [Revelation 1:10-16]); it can be assumed that if Jesus' HAIR is all white, His BEARD is also; God the Father is said to have hair "like pure wool" (Daniel 7:9). Therefore, it is most likely (almost certain) that God has a beard (it is practically certain that Jesus has a beard), and that it is white. We do know, though, that both God the Father and Jesus have hair white as 'pure wool'.

There will be all sorts of activities, music, fellowship, fine dining, sights to see, playing with animals/pets (most likely), discovery, creative activities (art, etcetera), and enjoying God's presence and fellowship unhindered by sin. (I also happen to believe that there will be sex in Heaven, though no marriage [there will apparently be no reproduction].) Of course, sinners [i.e. non-Christians] love sin, so for them it most likely wouldn't be all that appealing (no adultery, no lust, no rape, no murder, no stealing, no lying, etcetera).
