Yes, the Greek in the Apocalypse of John describes a renewing of the Heavens and Earth, not a destruction of the Old and a making of the New. You could also view it as, "make as New"...

In essences the scars of the consequences of sin will be washed from Creation and Creation will no longer be hostile to Man.

We will have physical bodies, resurrection bodies, but physical bodies nonetheless.

We will eat, we will drink, and we will walk with Christ Jesus and worship God perfectly with the rest of the Church.

The thing we need to remember is that when God created the universe He said it was good. When He created the animals and the plants He said they were good. When He created Man, He said it was good, though not that he be alone.
