My statement on discoveries was "No one wants to rediscover things or invent things that are meaningless."  This is absolutely true, no one wants to discover or invent things that are meaningless.  Why would a pharmacist try to come up with new drugs in Heaven because there is no illness, why would a agricultural engineer try to develop new methods of farming when the food supply is infinite, why would a physicist try to discover a sustainable method of nuclear fusion when there is infinite energy?

I'm going to give you a hint here, simply because I am growing tired of your ignorant posts.  Explain to me why a research pharmacist should develop drugs in Heaven.

It may be meaningless IN HEAVEN, but who says it's meaningless period?  Does mortal life not even count?  

My reasoning is that Heaven is a continuation of this life, your life experiences continuing on after you die.  Since you will end up in Heaven, certain events you did on Earth will seem meaningless in Heaven, and you have no reason to do future, similar events in Heaven.

It was mentioned that pharmacists could develop drugs just for fun, but if you ask a pharmacist why he is working on a HIV vaccine or a cure for cancer, they will not tell you that they are doing it just for fun.

So, to use your earlier comparison, if you saved a guy's life in New York and then moved to LA where no one knew or cared, does that mean saving his life was pointless?  

Or, if you were about to move, would it make no difference if you went on a killing spree, just because you were about to leave it all behind anyway?  

Bottom line:  the discoveries you made, etc. that you did on Earth would be meaningless if you did them in Heaven -- and you would have no reason to try; but that wouldn't mean that they were meaningless when you did them on Earth.
