The Bible doesn't explicitly give us the answer to this question. If a man dies at 95, he won't enter heaven as a 95 year old man because the effects of aging and time bringing us closer to death are all from sin, something that heaven is free of. In the same way, an aborted baby won't enter heaven as an 8 pound cutie crying "goo goo gah gah." We'll be made perfect, flawless and Christ-like without any trace of sin or its effects on us.
Some people say the age is around 30. Others say 33, since that's about the age Jesus was when He died. Personally, I don't really think age will be a concept in heaven like it is here. No sin means no aging toward death and full comprehension of God, so if we had to translate it into an apparent age for our minds to grasp, it'd probably be between 20-40. I think everybody will be in what athletes call their "prime," meaning their ideal age, which would vary from person to person.

A very interesting thought Tay Tay! Continue to make these posts. I love how these are all kind of Apologetic... Keep up the good work!
I follow that too. Heaven is the homeland of perfection, so we would naturally be in our peak age, whatever it may be (probably mid-20s roughly).
