No but in a world that claims that everything must be able to be broken down into neat quantifiable packages, (Science) creativity, consciousness and expressions of it are a bit of a pain in the arse.
Philosophy is one tool.

"Yet" does imply inevitability in its basic meaning and in context of your/Thor's claim, otherwise it adds no meaning or value to the sentence whatsoever, yet the whole assertion hinges on that very word. If you meant it in a "perpetual" sense that may never eventuate then basically you've based your claim on nothing. There is no premise for the assertion at all.
Also, there is no perpetual time frame. When the universe reaches maximum entropy, and undergoes the heat death, it will not sustain life.
Thor has no foundation to make such a claim unless he is omniscient.

Anyway, even though Thor said that line once, I feel it was clearly not what the movie wanted to depict. Otherwise you'd have to believe Odin is really just a scientist who gave himself superpowers, but purposely made sure it looked like there was no tech involved. He also made sure that his super advanced society didn't have some of the "lower" tech stuff like, I dunno, transport vehicles, computers, Earth-grade military weapons etc.
