On Earth, the Catholic Church teaches that humans are co-creators with God.
> To human beings God even gives the power of freely sharing in his

> to perfect its harmony for their own good and that of their neighbors.
> Though often unconscious collaborators with God’s will, they can also

> workers” and co-workers for his kingdom.** ([Catechism of the Catholic
> Church, paragraph 307](http://www.usccb.org/beliefs-and-teachings/what-we-believe/catechism/catechism-of-the-catholic-church/epub/index.cfm?p=14-chapter4.xhtml%23para307))
Does any tradition see this concept of humans being co-creative/co-worker extending into heaven? If so, does this mean that we will continue to push technology forward?
