Those things you find "hard to believe" and that are generally accepted may require some study to see why. Stellar evolution is rather well understood.

The total relative mass loss by the Sun from all reasons in only 9.13*10**(-14) per year.

If the Sun is to have 99.93% of it's original mass (hydrogen to helium) left after 10 billion years, wouldn't the rate per year be 7e-12?
