Will the sun explode?

[Jehanne]

I am getting conflicting answers from science sources.  Therefore, I would like your educated opinion.

One source states the sun will never explode because its mass is not large enough to cause it to explode at the end of its life cycle.

Another source states it will explode.

What say you?

The Sun will undergo a helium flash in another billion years or so:

But, life on earth will have long since perished:

The Sun's rising luminosity begins to disrupt the carbonate–silicate cycle; higher luminosity raises weathering of surface rocks, which traps carbon dioxide in the ground as carbonate. Volcanoes will continue to pump carbon dioxide for at least the next 1.1 billion years.[57] However, the long term trend is for the carbon dioxide level to steadily drop.[58]

600 million
By this time, carbon dioxide levels will fall to the point at which C3 photosynthesis used by trees is no longer possible. By this point, forests will no longer be able to survive, causing a mega mass extinction of the Earth's vegetation.[59][60]
