Harvard's George Wald makes the following astonishing statement: “Since the origin of life belongs in the category of ‘at-least-once’ phenomena, time is one its side. However improbable we regard this event, given enough time it will almost certainly happen at least once. And for life as we know it, with its capability for growth and reproduction, once may be enough. Time is the hero of the plot. The time with which we have to deal here is on the order of 2 billion years. What we regard as impossible on the basis of human experience is meaningless here. Given so much time, the impossible becomes possible, the possible becomes probable, and the probable becomes virtually certain. One only has to wait; time itself performs miracles.”
Now we see why the earth's being billions of years old is so important to the proponents of evolution. This admission by a well known evolutionist demonstrates that they are willing to believe anything, regardless of how ridiculous and impossible it may be, so that they can reject creation by God.
I have before me two documents listing over 100 scientific experiments, the results of which give an age to the earth that is far less than the 4.6 billion years accepted today. Their results vary widely, giving an age for the universe from 100 years (!) to millions of years. What are we to conclude from these experiments? Just what man has known for ages: origins are once-for-all events, and are therefore incapable of scientific discovery.
If by such experiments we can “prove” that the earth is both billions of years old and only about 100 years old, it is obvious that there are some serious problems with the scientific methods employed. Because of their nature, those studies require many assumptions, and it is clear that some of those assumptions are faulty. That is another reason why we know that evolution will never be anything more than a theory.
