Personally, I rather like the Earth. It's treated me well so far so I'd like to reciprocate, as I am a guest here.
All these verses are irrelevant. I think you deliberately forget one verse which is critical.
Without knowing a better one, anything is good enough to any one.
Creation is good, intrinsically good. It belongs to God, and though it suffers under the pains of sin and death, the Christian conviction and hope is that, in Christ, God is and will make all things right.
If one were to conflate the material world with this fallen age, and refer to God's creation itself as though it were what was the problem then one has fallen into rank heresy.

Well humanity is going to have to make some major strides in science and technology before that happens. Though I expect Earth will always hold a big place in the hearts of a space faring humanity.
Human has done that at the first step, and you have experienced that. Do you think we have created a better world by science and technology?
If not, why would you still have any hope on science and technology?
An airplane can get you from A to B fast, it can also be used to bomb and destroy,
So, depending on how science and technology are used.
Without airplane, it only takes a longer time to travel. We still can do it.
Without the A-bomb, many of our problems would never happen.
You evaluate the pros and cons.
Yeah, like crossing the Alps is childsplay.
Even if I believed this myth of Adam and Eve and God cursing the land, that does not take away one iota from the sacredness of God's creation as it is Created by God. Its all God's will. Even if it was cursed, because it has God's hand directly in it....it's all sacred!Is there anything wrong with what I said that the earth is cursed? Who do you think is cursing it? And do you think this cursing is anything less fantastic than His creations?
How can we even discuss to someone who cannot acknowledge how much better our life today is compared to how people lived 10,000, 1000, or even 100 years ago?
A plain look at mortality rates, life expectancy and general affluence ought to suffice to demonstrate how far we've come. Pointing to the fact that we still have much to do in order to make this world better and less unjust can hardly distract from the fact that a LOT has happened.
You take a detail look of human history. We have never got any better. Your dream of a better human future has been DEAD for a long time.

I think it's a two edge sword. On one hand, there's no doubt in my mind that science and technology has made our lives better. In the same breath though, I honestly feel that because of the material consumerism aspect of technology that we are tied to, we have lost our ancestral connection to the Earth and Nature in ways that have been detrimental to our mental health as well as the health of the Earth.Science and technology has absolutely made our lives better. I'm not sure how this is even a question.

Lol, such denial.
As far as the future goes, hard to say. I do think soon we'll be able to take out the nasty stuff we have inherented from evolution like unwanted suffering and whatnot. Although in the same vein corrupt governments could rewire the human brain to inflict suffering no living creature on this planet has ever remotely experienced before.
Scary stuff, when technology reaches such extremes.
