What is the difference between scientific and non-scientific evidence?
Evidence is something observable (measurable) or tangible that provides support to an explanation or shows that the explanation needs to be modified. The term "prove" (in the US, generally) is much more often used within the legal system, not in science, as science doesn't really try to "prove" things, but to support or refute them with evidence. The more evidence, the more likely it is to be true. Evidence, by definition, cannot be non-scientific.
How old is the Earth based on scientific evidence?

How would this most likely have affected scientific understanding of the structure of an atom?

How likely out of 1 to 100 is 2012 going to happen'?
It is probably not going to happen (5/100) because there is very little scientific evidence to support 2012, and scientists and other people are concentrating on events later than 2012, thus they believe the world won't end in 2012.
