That is not what he said. He said the sun will boil off the oceans and atmosphere by then. Actually, the sun will boil off the oceans within 500 million years, and the rest of the atmosphere by a billion years from now. In 5 billion years, the sun will expand, becoming a red giant and shed its outer atmosphere, destroying the inner solar system in the process, including the Earth. Eventually it will become a white dwarf, shedding much of the rest of its mass, and creating a planetary nebula, such as this one:

At that point, the entire solar system will be gone.

It is a projection based on what we know of the behavior of stars like the sun.
The rest of your post is not with my time.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
