Maybe "prediction" is not the right word here. What we have is a situation where an animal has algae chloroplasts incorporated into it. Researchers look at this and say, "the animal may have absorbed algae and incorporated the chloroplasts to use as its own." This is a [prediction, hypothesis, something or other] which can then be tested for (can other animals incorporate useful stuff from other critters the same way? Can this particular animal incorporate other stuff?). ID says, "God did it -- this critter has existed in this particular form from the day God zapped it into existence. Any resemblance between the chloroplasts therein and those of algae is purely coincidental. That this animal has chloroplasts will give us no useful information when it comes to possibly using this for medical purposes."

ID says, "God did it -- this critter has existed in this particular form from the day God zapped it into existenceHow can ID say this? My understanding is that ID has stated nothing.
