The Sun is gradually getting warmer.
In about one billion years, it will have increased in temperature so much that water on Earth will slowly boil away, leaving Earth as a hot dry planet devoid of all life as we know it.
In about 5 billion years, all the hydrogen will have been used up and the Sun will expand as a red giant, it's outer envelope almost touching Earth.
Mercury and Venus will have been obliterated and the Earth with be nothing more than a molten crust.
In another billion years, all available fuel will have been used up and the Sun will shed it's outer layers as a planetary nebula.
All that will be left of our Sun will be it's hot dense core or white dwarf.
Over billion and billions of years, the white dwarf will radiate it's heat back in to space, until no more heat is left. It will then become a black dwarf.

The star closest to our Sun in type, age and period in it's evolution is Alpha Centauri A.
Why is it important for the earth to orbit the sun?
we need the energy from the sunThe current orbit of the Earth around the sun, allows for the Earth to be the proper temperature to allow the continued existence and evolution of life.
What will be the predominant element within the sun after it has died?

How do you get tanner legs?

For what reason is evolution false?
There is no such reason. Evolution, the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms, is a fact and as much a fact as the sun rising in the East every day. The theory of evolution explains much about the fact of evolution and is supported by more evidence that the fact that the sun seems to rise in the East is explained by the theory of heliocenterism.
