Predictions of Creationism and Intelligent Design?

Question

I would hold that science makes predictions about the world that can be tested and, in principle, falsified. Naturally if the thoery were wholly true it would never in actuality be falsified but we could still point to a conceptually possible occurence that would falisfy it. For example the law of conservation of momentum could be falsified if we were to fire a bullet an record that the momentum of the bullet was not equal and opposite to the recoil of the gun.

On this basis can any of the creationists or intelligent design theorist outline examples of evidence that would count against their theories? I accept that none of you will think that these events WILL happen, but they should be conceivable to happen. eg (for the literal creationists) would the discovery of dark matter needed to uphold current cosmological theory convince you that the universe was older than creationism proposes? What would physics have to show to breakdown the 24 hour day timescale?

Answer 1

I suggest you visit a website of professional scientists that read the scientific literature and STILL believe in the Bible.

www.reasons.org or go to Amazon and search for books by Dr Hugh Ross. His latest book, Creation as Science is exactly what you are looking for. For more than 10 years they have made predictions about future discoveries in light of Creation/ Intelligent Design.

Broadly you would call them Old Earth Creationists, and Born Again Believers.

Dark Matter and Dark Energy along with General Relativity point to God's Creation of the Universe.

Answer 2

God does say in the beginning. This relates to the Big Bang. Not all Christians see creation as 7 literal 24 hour days. (As a day in the eyes of the Lord is 1000 years and 1000 years as a day).
If we could accurately measure the momentum... air friction, loss to sound, etc. .
I believe that the discovery of dark matter is needed... w/o it the universe couldn't exist. We may not be able to prove who the creating one is, but that the odds of this happening by accident will be so great as to be necessary to point to creation.

Answer 3

just a little note, the day we know was only put in place on the 2nd day, so the first day was definately not 24 hours long. another thing is the hebrew word used there was not the word usually translated as day. it was a word which refered to an undefined period of time. so the discovery of dark matter wouldn't prove the creation was incorrect. besides, the earth can be dated by radioactive decay and is an awful lot older than it would be if it were created in 6 literal days

Answer 4

it is actual obscure. yet specific, I believe technology even nonetheless i comprehend that it is subjective to alter. working example, I believe that once I take an Tylenol that my headache will possibly bypass away. yet I additionally believe the technology that detects while the Tylenol may be undesirable and that they'd do a keep in mind of it. I additionally believe that once I press the numbers on my telephone that it will call the recipient, yet i comprehend that a cellular telephone tower may be down. issues like gravity, the universe, evolution, etc, I believe. I believe that scientists comprehend that an asteroid is probably no longer heading in direction of us, yet i'm additionally conscious that they may be incorrect and there would desire to be one coming the next day.

Answer 5

basically its actually quite simple.

you are an over intelligent human suffering from a strange sense of dislocation with reality.

go and have a couple of pints and a good curry with some mates and come back with a question that i can actually understand.

alternatively it might have something to do with something or nothing what happened before 'shutup i never did' big bang.
