No Time Limit
But since you don't have an infinite amount of time to work with, than evolution does have a limit.
Time has not delivered us from three mile long anacondas and intelligent microbes, physics has.
As for the many things that are physically possible but not available for comment, they also have not been ruled out by a time limit, but by chance. That simply isn't the direction evolution took (here).
Once life gets past the single cell phase, which does seem to take an incredibly long time, there are other limits that it runs into way before it gets to another time limit.
Can you describe a condition that evolution has not had time to evolve?

falsification
Hi IGT
The ToE is well defined, therefore, there are lots and lots of very simple things that could falsify the it. That none has yet to be discovered in spite of the great efforts being made to find one speaks to the credibility and viability of the theory.
Good luck in your search. Success will mean a Nobel Prize.

Re: Poker
But I wonder what the odds of Ray Ramano and another player who folded were of getting the exact hands they got.
That's the beauty of it. The odds of RR an AP getting those hand were exactly the same odds as the other two getting the hands that they got.
