[Originally published as part of the List of Creation Science Predictions. The idea is that a legitimate scientific framework must provide predictions of future discoveries that will fit its paradigm. Some naturalists claim that, since creation just says “God did it” creationists can’t have real predictions.]
- No theory on how a genetic code may have naturally arisen will ever be formulated, let alone proposed or validated. Because the classical laws of physics and chemistry have no symbolic logic functions, evolutionists cannot even think about how a genetic code (a scheme) could arise by material means. So RSR’s Richard Dawkins challenge that we hand delivered in Oxford is to describe, even in vague terms, how the simplest part of the genome could arise naturally, the 3-to-1 pattern such that three genetic letters code for a single amino acid.
- Amber, even allegedly from 300 Mya, will have significant amounts of short-lived Carbon 14 (even though it is non-radioactive and uncontaminated), which would be impossible on an old earth.
- Following NASA’s February 2021 planned landing in Mars’ Jezero Crater with its claimed “landforms reaching as far back as 3.6 billion years old“, researchers will discover there evidence of surprisingly young (and possibly even transient) features. [added 12/8/18]
- Evolutionists will never discover insects, or animals for that matter, that have (for ex.) hearing, sight, flight, echolocation, etc., that previously had no ears, eyes, wings, etc. Partial confirmations appear at:
- rsr.org/squeeze and see also there, from allegedly
- 3.5 billion years ago “cell division evidently identical to that of living filamentous prokaryotes” and see
- the 1972 quote on ancient proteins from the journal Science in our Biomaterial Fossils List and just for fun
- at rsr.org/living-fossils see the claim that an allegedly 310my old horseshoe crab brain and central nervous system are apparently identical to living crabs!
- (Partial falsification appears in the claim that 53-million year old bats could not echolocate. Here at RSR though, we predict that claim will be reversed with the future discovery of echolocating bats in strata dated by evolutionists as that old or older.)
- The distribution of gene families will support the software engineering model of shared code libraries more so than it will a tree of common descent, including, for example,
- the shared echolocation coding among bats and whales,
- the elephant shrew being closer genetically to an elephant than to other shrews,
- and the close relationship (added August 2019) between the zebra finch and zebra fish which by common descent should share no unique gene families but which actually share nineteen!
- Animals with pigment, hair, fur, “advanced” teeth, bone, etc., will never be shown to have acquired them, but rather, will always have had such teeth, bone, genes for pigment, hair, etc. Those using hair, pigment, etc., for homeothermy, etc., will always have had the ability to use such associated structures for such purposes. Etc. [added 4/8/18]
- Of the plentiful biomaterial of organisms trapped in amber that remains extant, original biological material will be found to be largely independent of the alleged age of the specimen, whether dated from 22 to 130 million years old, 230 Mya, or older. [added 4/7/18]
- The evolutionary assumption that sponges must have the ultimate stem cells will not be validated (just to put a termination date on this, let’s say by 2030).
- A systematic assessment of mutations in fossils will show far fewer mutations as compared to today.
