Is there anything in scripture to the contrary?
Please tell me thats not your baseline for doctrine. But actually yes there is. For one, if she had died and was taken after death scripture would be incorrect on its account of resurrections. The complete story of Mary after Christs death and resurrection is built on myth only.
When Jesus ascended into heaven ..1/2 way up a space ship picked him up and took Him to Mars.. I know this because scripture does not tell me otherwise..
