yes...in 7.6 billion years or so ;) CORRECTION It would have to be a shorter time lapse than that because 7.6 billion years is more than half the time the universe has "existed". I think the estimate should be around 4.3 because the earth is slowly edging close to the sun every nanosecond. Then once we get too close the earth will start shriveling up, but humans will be long gone at that point. The next stage would (a) explode into a supernova, (b) become a black hole, or (c) form a nebula. So the earth may not be swallowed by the sun, but it may burn up once it gets too close.
