Can you give me an example of prediction which cannot even in principle be determined to be false?

Sure. Here's one: "Evolutionists will prove beyond any doubt the earth was formed billions of years ago."

Trivial in principle to determine that that is false. All you need is a newly uncovered Cambrian stratum with 'Made by God, 4004 B.C.', etched into it.

So I'll take that as a 'no'.
