While it is certainly true that people on either side of any debate will resort to poor arguments, here is just one concrete example of a prediction that the TofE makes that can be TESTED:

According to evolutionary theory, the many life forms we see today arose from older life forms, and ultimately share a common ancestor. A basic prediction of this is that you should see a progression of life forms over time, where NEWER species appear and OLDER species disappear. Another consequence of that is then you SHOULD NOT FIND "fossil anachronisms", ie, a fossil bunny rabbit with a fossil triobyte, or some such.

Now, if the world were created all at once, with all the species at once, then on the average, the fossil record should contain equal percentages of all species for a given area, virtually all the time. There is no "creationist" explanation of the layering of fossils that is routinely observed. In fact, the story of Noah and the flood should INSURE a good, big layer of sediment with EVERYTHING in it.

Now, you think that the TofE is wrong, fine. You can easily disprove it by finding lots of mixed fossils of Dinos and People and Sabre Tooth Tigers and Trilobytes ALL IN THE SAME LAYER. Where are they? They should be just about EVERYWHERE, and in reasonably equal distribution.

But they are not.

No, there's not, and its called hydrologic sorting.

Errr, oops.

“In fact, the story of Noah and the flood should INSURE a good, big layer of sediment with EVERYTHING in it.” [excerpt]

Um, no.

Catastrophic floods are known to cause layering. (and phenomenally accelerated erosion)
