The notion of us spending eternity here on Earth with the only substantive change being new bodies that are not tainted with sin is erroneous. There is no Biblical justification for that kind of thing - the picture is clear of a NEW heavens and earth (something far more similar to what we have now, in that there will continue to be vocation, learning, worship, etc., but totally new). The picture is also clear of a place of eternal torment for the damned.
Careful with Russell, which is what I gather got you going in this direction, Erick. He's got some very bad ideas (packaged unfortunately with a few good ones).
