It is kind of hard to describe what God is like but what He likes seems apparent. In Genesis chapter 2 God does several things that must have some meaning or importance to Himself and us:
4. He wants man to be in command of the animals and creation.
5. He does not want man to be alone.
So, in sum, God wants man as an eternal companion to do meaningful work. And just as He does not want to be alone, he knows that man cannot be alone. God allows us knowledge enough to do our work of taking care of the planet but not so much knowledge as to construct a universe without Him (thus a possible corollary would be that man will always have an incomplete knowledge of how the universe operates – the bane of scientism).
The atheist commits the most foul crime of all, imagining a universe devoid of God – who invites us to be His partner. The curse and reward of atheism is in fact: eternal loneliness.
If in fact, the original plan was an eternal partnership with God, then we can perhaps extrapolate to His future plan: an eternal working relationship in a new environment – the New Heaven and Earth.
