Not just that, but think about it-- you are in heaven with god. All questions are now answered, or can be answered with a direct query to the almighty. There is nothing new to discover. There is nothing new to learn. You have come to the finish line of human achievement and wound up in a room with no books, no windows, and no tools, and you are expected to stand there and be grateful for the rest of eternity.
That's not just depressing, it's horrifying. Methinks that the Bible writers may have gotten heaven and hell mixed up.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
