Ahhh--so evolution only makes predictions about what happened in the past, huh?

No, it makes predictions about things that will be found in a study of the past. It can also make predictions regarding future events in populations of organisms on a small scale when variables such as environmental change are not infinitely diverse. Since evolution isn't about how environments change, it can't predict environmental changes. However, environmental changes do affect how populations evolve, thus evolution cannot make predictions about how populations evolve unless the environmental changes that will occur are known beforehand.

OK, then biblical creationism has also made correct "predictions" about the past in terms of describing cities and peoples that (until recently) science thought were only myths.

Biblical Creationism fails as science because it appeals to the supernatural.

No, it's not.

Repeating this claim does not make it true. If you can demonstrate that you actually understand how science operates, then I'll be willing to listen to an argument from you on why evolution is not science. Thus far, however, you are attempting to claim that a supernaturally-based story is science, and that really makes me doubt your credentials.

You've given examples of evidence, which can be interpreted in several ways.

No, I've given you statements that, if found to be false, would show that evolution could not have occured.

iven that you said ...it is impossible to make such a prediction., I would say that without that ability to make predictions, evolution is not science.

I said that it was impossible to make a specific type of prediction. I did not say that it is impossible to make predictions at all, and you are a liar for claiming that I said as much.
