I've been doing pretty bad in my science class because i just don't believe anything they say
First of all there is no "belive In dinosaurs"
We have hard evidence that they did exist
Saying they didn't is ignorant
Quote:
I don't believe in dinosaurs or that the earth is 5.6 or however many billion years old
1. There wasn't a million years when there were beasts roaming the earth when there wasn't man, is was a few days
2. it was about 50-60 generations from adam and eve to jesus that MAY equal 1 million years but not billions.
Exactly
Because carbon dating is so much less acurate than a book, right?
Even though carbon dating is consistantly accurate and the bible was a spoken gospel for hundreds of years before someone was bright enough to write it down

The reason the sun is shrinking is because it has a finite amount of fuel and it is slowly eating through those reserves, turning the hydrogen fuel into helium
When it gets close to the end of it's life it will become a "red giant" (massive, cool, dying star) as its gravity becomes too weak to hold it's mass in place allowing it to expand past Venus
While it doesn't have the mass to go supernova (explode), the red giant will mostly wash away into space leaving only the hot core
By this point our Sun will have become a white dwarf (hot remains of a small star) and will eventually cool into a black dwarf (dead remains of a small star)
However at no point was the sun large enough to swallow the Earth or suck it in by gravity
If this was the case our sun would be a "blue giant" (very massive and extremely hot star) and Earth would resemble Mercury
Our sun is classified as a "yellow dwarf" (relatively hot, small star)
