“Venus is at the beginning of its life, but it’s looking good so far, despite the enemy’s intrusions...”
in the expected life and lifetime of the solar system, and as the sun is in its expansion phase, the sun will burn venus up when some life remains possible on earth
Maybe Earth will outlive Venus. It’s all speculation. I was not “seriesly” speculating about the actual nature of the planets. I was providing conversational fodder for varmintman, who had commented to me that Venus seems younger than Earth and Mars.
I was just over-summarizing CS Lewis’s Sci-Fi novel, “Perelandra.”
So the book’s a little off — it’s not much of a stretch to say that no green humans live on Venus either. But the books (”Out of the Silent Planet,” “Perelandra,” and “That Hideous Strength” are an interesting way for Lewis to help us fallen humans understand our own situation. God talks to us in many ways, including through all the analogies he has made for us.
