If nothing happens at all then I say that we have at least 5 million years left. The Sun will get likt 5 time bigger (unless we evolve to the point where 15 billion degrees is considered "cold")

How does our resilience to extremely high temperatures determine the size of the Sun? (yes, I love pointing out bad logic)

It's a Hypothesis. Hypothesis's (Hypothesi?) are there to be disproven. Enough said... and if anyone is right then it will be too late to care. We'll all be dead then... so why care?

Hypotheses.

My bad, I meant that when the sun goes Red Giant then it will get hotter, ALOT hotter. Unless we have evolved where technology will make us alot better suited to weather then good. If not, then we are goners.

iirc, when we did astrology in science last year this video said something about the sun swallowing Mercury and Venus. Until then, the sun isn't going to change much, if at all, so it wouldn't help us evolve over time.

We built and learned how to route electricity, builded planes, made buildings larger than 100 feet, are able to connect and send information over the entire globe in seconds and have seen beyond the solar system. All in 120 years.

If we're still alive by then, and are still pretty sane, I do expect that we would have somethingthat can make the world a better place. I heard somewhere that technology would evolve so far that we would be able to create our own utopia in about 200 years.
 
It's gonna happen. It'll be 2012, the summer Olympics. Michael Phelps will have just gotten another medal. The world will bend to his pure awesomeness, and everything will blow up.

No, really. It's just a bunch of baloney.
