The Five Failed Predictions of Creationism
Crevo thread: Professor Dumped Over Evolution Beliefs ^

This vanity thread was inspired by a provocative question that Junior directed to a creationist: "Biblical prophesies notwithstanding, what biological predictions does creationism make?" The creationist didn't respond, but I did, as follows:
I can think of a few creationist predictions. Because -- according to creationism -- all species were specially created at virtually the same time, and did not gradually evolve from earlier forms:
1. There should be no transitional species.
2. There are most certainly no pre-human species.
3. There should be no evidence, whether in fossils or DNA, showing the chronological evolution of life.
4. There must surely be at least one species, and probably several, having no genetic similarities with any other life on earth.
5. The fossil record must show all kinds of species (such as dinosaurs and humans) living together at the same time.
I shall call these The Five Failed Predictions of Creationism. In fairness to the creationists, although the first three have already been disproved (for example: #1 -- Transitional Vertebrate Fossils FAQ, #2 -- Human Ancestors, more #2 -- Comparison of all skulls, #3 -- Tree of Life Project ), the last two (#4 and #5) can't yet be considered to be totally failed predictions. All we can do is point out that the predicted evidence has not yet been discovered. Given the lack of actual research being conducted by creationists, it is unlikely to be discovered.

Truth hurts does it not? The post is almost a year old already and it still bugs you.
If you do not like what you are, if you consider the truthful description of your behavior (which is verified by your posts on a daily basis) as an insult, then perhaps you need to change your behavior.
To: PatrickHenry
That's because (I'd like to think) my opening essay is so powerful that no creationist of any talent (hee hee) will dare to come near this thread.Insults, lies and doubletalk is all you are about. Your little ignorant rant was refuted way back on Post# 55 and neither you nor your lame minions has been able to contradict it in any way.
BTW: Insulting someone who you are unable to refute shows you to be even lamer than than the person you are insulting.
To: PatrickHenry
Please cite one -- just one -- authority on evolution who makes this claim.Evolution is completely materialistic and denies divine agency. That it no longer dares to tie itself to abiogenesis (life from non-life without divine intervention) shows that the basis of evolution - materialism - has been totally discredited. What this means is that evolution itself has been discredited but evolutionists do not dare to admit it.

To: Junior
I never said Genesis was a fairy tale.Semantics as usual. You said that neither the words of Christ nor Genesis were true (see post# 100), in post #91 you called Christ's statement that Adam and Eve were real people as a lie. How else can your statements be characterized if not that you disbelieve in both the New Testament and the Old Testament?
Again, you call yourself a Christian so I ask you again the question you refuse to address:
What part of Christianity do you believe in? What part of the Bible do you agree with?

jk ...
In my life, as an active researcher in Chemistry and Physics, science is just man's effort to understand what God hath wrought. The only people I see rejecting God in favor of what they call 'science' are those whose ego cannot stand the thought of a being superior to themselves
gk ...
I, no doubt, have a much more limited science background than you, but it is much stronger that most. I have graduate courses in anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, pharmacology and a smackarale (sp?) of physics. Undergraduate courses in Chemistry, biochemistry, physiology, anatomy, microbiology etc.
That being said, the more more I learn of the inner workings of the cell. The harder time I have even just contemplating that it was all just an accident.

Alas, my little thread seems to be losing out in the popularity sweepstakes. Bump anyway.

"Abandon hope, all who lurk here."
Actually, it appears that statement is most-applicable when attempting to discern any "f.Christian" post.
what is with the "xx // yy --zz" nonsense?
Wait - I got it - he's typing in tongues!
Creationism = Biblical Nonsense // ignorance is bliss //head in da sand.
Hey! I can do it too!
