I think I might know where you are going with this. I heard an Old Testament professor give an explanation that man is an earthy being and that man is made to inhabit the earth. So his belief is that when the new heavens and the new earth come into play at the end of the age, man will be glorified and he will live on the earth forever.
He even took it a step further to say that procreation could still happen (I don't agree with this statement). Someone in class mentioned that there is no marriage in heaven. He mentioned that is true, but we will be living on earth in the new age and not in heaven.
