As the Sun continues to shrink in energy output the Earth will eventually resemble Mars as we see it today and our neighbor Venus will cool and slow its rotation to a point where the planet will resemble Earth as it is today.

Since the Sun is a star and is a gigantic energy burning entity, we must also realize that it will go through cycles of higher energy output and lower output through its cycle of life.

Over the course of the last few decades because of solar flares all planets have experienced warming of a few degrees, which defies the Global Warming Alarmists, need to blame the current rise in Earth temperatures on human industrialization. Currently the Sun is void of any solar flares as of 8-2008 and we are experiencing a cooling of the overall climate of the Earth.

As science tells us the Sun is no different from any other star, thus the life cycle of the Sun has to be similar to most other observable stars. We are told that the Sun will expand over billions of years to its eventual nova, but if we are to believe this, then why does science tell us a star, before reaching nova, or super nova begins the process as a small, blue and faint mass, and in the process actually generated more heat the smaller it gets. Then suddenly becomes several hundred million times larger and brighter before it gradually fades away in the last stage of its existence.

Thus, we are faced with two opposite theories on this subject.

If the Sun is no different from any other star in the universe it assuredly would act the same as all other stars, this would put our Sun in a stage of shrinkage at this time.

In this, we have the answer to the decline of Mars as an inhabitable planet and why it was at a time in the past very full of life supporting elements necessary for life, as we know it, why Earth is currently full of life, and why Venus will be the next planet that supports life.
