Eventually, the Sun will explode.

Nope. It does not have the mass to do that. It will become a red giant and then shrink to a white dwarf relatively peacefully.

By that time, either humanity will no longer exist, or we will have the technology to move the Earth into a better orbit.

Either way, not a problem.

Doesn’t matter we were just told humanity will go extinct in ten years from climate change.

Depends on your world view.

Did Jesus resurrect from the dead? If he did, then it proves he is God (John 1 and John 8:58). And if Jesus is God, then he will fulfill the remaining eschatological issues regarding a New Heaven and New Earth (Revelation 21:1).

So....... no.

Understood, but how’s about we worry about the near future? You know, the next 4 to 8 years. If we don’t focus on the here and now, it won’t matter if the planet lasts another 5 years or 5 billion years because it won’t be worth living in.

If I leave $100 in the bank, to collect interest, for 1 billion years I will end up with $122.49 at today’s interest rate.

I hope so - my wife wants me to buy in on a time-share and I don’t want to get shortchanged by the Earth going away...

...if we haven’t gotten sustainable humanity somewhere else EVERYTHING we ever accomplished ceases to exist and we will actually have accomplished nothing.

Is that important?
