Understanding Time-Independent Schrodinger Equation

In quantum mechanics, time independent Schrodinger equation gives dynamics of system.
How do one claim that this equation is evolution of a system? Since dynamics need time dependency. How do one explain this discrepancy?
Thanks in well advance...

It's actually the time dependent SE that gives the dynamics. It just turns out that solving the time dependent SE is accomplished by first solving the time independent version, and then the associated time dependence that comes from the time dependent version is rather trivial to attach to the eigenstates of the time independent version.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
