Bible Q

What happens to the Earth when the Sun becomes a red giant and it causes the Earth to heat up too much?

According to standard scientific predictions, the Sun will become a red giant in about 5 billion years. When that happens life on Earth would be impossible — in fact, as a red giant the Sun would expand to large than the Earth’s current orbit, so there would be no Earth.

The Bible, of course, says nothing about any of this, presumably because it is not an issue. God created the universe therefore it will not be any problem for God to recreate the Earth, the Sun or anything that needs to be recreated for his plan for humanity to be realised.
