Yeah, Christianity did steal a lot of it's concepts, more than most religions I can think of. It's like the Family Guy of religions.

Are there any "authorative" descriptions of heaven in the bible or is this all fantasized by believers?

Isaiah 65:17 - For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
Well that's more about the so called new age after the second coming, but then some Christian's don't believe they will go to heaven until after the second coming, before that they're just... dead.
So yeah what I'm talking about does have a biblical source.
