Does the Sun really have 4.5 billion years left or has the sun already expended most of it's energy.

corrected spelling, Astronomers, sorry.

I don't put my faith in scientists. The same scientists say that the Earth is billions of years old and then they change the dates over and over. The truth is that no one really knows, how could they? Scientists said that certain fish died off millions of years ago, but they pull up fish off the coast of Madagascar that should have been extinct. I don't trust scientists because they claim to have facts when in reality they are theories.

Yes it is true we the earth will be destroyed in about 4 to 5 Billion years. Fortunately if humans are still around then they will have figured out how to deal with the problem and colonize other planets

I'm pretty sure what is said is pretty close to what will happen. As far as when it will happen...who knows. I won't be here and there's always a possibility the Earth won't be here either.
Speaking of Earth not being here...this is pretty interesting. The Hubble captured pictures of two galaxies colliding.
"They give us a preview of what may happen when our Milky Way galaxy likely collides with the neighbouring Andromeda Galaxy about 6 billion years from now."

Yes, based on observable data and our understanding of the life-cycles of stars, the sun has several billion years of fuel remaining.

Well, if it is true and due to happen in 4.5 billion years I'll be long dead.
If they're wrong and it nova's tomorrow, we're all gonna burn up really quickly.
So in essence.....I don't care.
