Everything in the universe is impermanent. Earth is just a small piece of the big picture, a picture that has no conceivable boundaries. I can't help but assume there are many habitable planets in existence that do support intelligent life forms and they are just as temporary as we are.
Maybe the intention was for constant change, or perhaps there's a flaw in the design. Whichever, it's obvious we aren't meant to know the answers at this point in our existence. I truly hope our awareness continues in some form after death, but just in case it doesn't, I'm trying to live in my own personal paradise, right here and now (not a whole lot of material things are necessary for that).
