Three incorrect statements: The Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle says we can never know anything for sure. Quantum physics says anything is possible given enough time and the universe/s has infinity to work with.

Since your watching Alleged vid on the Scopes Trial, just this moment happen to be reading over this page that has some personal quotes of great interest by John Scopes himself regarding the trial from "The Center of the Storm" bevets.com Of course all answers will be found , if they can be found in the quantum world . After centuries/millinea of gazing up at the stars & motions of the planets we have divined an entire new world of the microcosm to study & add to the synthesis of a total fabric of understanding , everything in the fullness of time ...and given enough TIME the miracle of understanding will come .

"One has only to wait: TIME itself performs the miracles " ...The important point is that since the origin of life belongs in the category of at least once phenomena, time is on its side. However improbable we regard this event, or any of the steps which it involves, given enough time it will almost certainly happen at-least-once. And for life as we know it, with its capacity for growth and reproduction, once may be enough. Time is in fact the hero of the plot. The time with which we have to deal is of the order of two 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 probable, and the probable virtually certain. "One has only to wait: time itself performs the miracles " ~George Wald (1906 - 1997) Professor of Biology at Harvard University & Nobel Prize in Physiology / Medicine 1967 *just had to post this again....and note that in 1954 they thought the earth only 2Bil yrs so they were off by 2 1/2 Bil yrs back then . The time frames of the age of the earth have shifted farther back by over 100% increase in just 50yrs .
