The current speculation regarding the sun's supply of hydrogen expiration is ~5 billion years from 4:37 PM EST on 02.20.2014.

At that time, the sun will swell to red dwarf size and begin swallowing the planets in its immediate vicinity.
'My very educated mother just served us nachos' doesn't even get past school before we're (literally, figuratively) toast.
If there is anything left of homo sapiens, the species will necessarily be in a more stable solar system.
But what are the chances?
What are the odds that we, in five billion years' time, figure out how to successfully navigate the outer world, travel to another solar system and successfully transplant ourselves?
If it took us nearly five billion years to get to this stage--- where we now know that we know nothing--- is there any hope at all that we will figure out how to leapfrog to another planet in another solar system and figure it out enough to keep on truckin' on?

So it's a safe bet that on that fateful afternoon, five billion years hence when all marshmallows reach their desired nirvana, man takes a giant dump and is heard from again nevermore.

Will there be a record of our time?
What will be our legacy?

A1: Nope.
A2: Who knows. If it's a hot death, the only legacy left will be spent energy.

I do not see how it is possible for man to survive even a million years into the future. We are in the process of destroying ourselves long before the sun explodes. Our only hope is the return of the Lord to save us and create a new heaven and new earth as prophecied.

Well, you know where I stand on this issue.

No sense getting worked up with over 5 billion years to go.

We won't make it another hundred, I'd be surprised if we see another 50. The ones that are left after the Judgment will all be in the Kingdom of God before that.

How can you, as a Christian, think we'll still be here in 5 billion years? Just asking.

Good question. I have the feeling that this belief that the end is close has always existed since the beginning of christianity, and is an essential part of the recruiting business.

Rapture is imminent: could be an hour from now or in a thousand years on the evening of February 20, 3014. No one knows.

Mankind will destroy itself long before this occurs. Only God can save us.

If one believes in a pre-Tribulation rapture.

The Tribulation is coming, and soon. If the (pre-Tribulation) "Rapture" is imminent, it'll have to be soon as well. I personally don't believe in a "get-out-of-the-Tribulation-free" card.

Why would I bet any money on this?

It's not like I'd be in a position to collect.

Are you trolling me, or what?

You should know my position, I've stated it here enough times.

Just as a philosophical exercise, Ron, how much time do YOU think we have until the Tribulation? Don't be shy, now, let's hear it.
