Confirmed Creationist Predictions
Creationists have predicted that evolution is not happening, never was and that there's no need for millions of years for current biodiversity to have arisen.
- The blind cavefish
Creationists have claimed that random mutations and selection have nothing to do with loss of eyes within the cavefish. We were right. The eyes loss and recovery are due to epigenetic regulation, which occurs rapidly. Stories of millions of years are ridiculous pseudosciences. - Fisher's theorem.
Evolution believers have claimed that random mutations and selection result in evolution. Creationists, particularly those mentored by Dr John Sanford, have argued that genetic mutations typically cause rapid genetic degeneration, disease and extinction. Today every biologist knows the fact about heavy mutational load; Every newborn brings 100-200 genetic errors in the germline. - The Junk-DNA theory.
Evolutionists have argued for decades that about 98% of human DNA is evolutionary junk. Creationists have always believed that the vast majority of DNA is meaningful and important. Newest research has revealed that >90% of the human genome is transcribed to functional RNA molecules.
"In addition, there has been an explosion of research addressing possible functional roles for the other 98% of the human genome that does not encode proteins. In fact, >90% of the human genome is likely to be transcribed yielding a complex network of overlapping transcripts that include tens of thousands of long RNAs with little or no protein forming capacity; they are collectively called non-coding RNA." - Lenski's experiment. The bacterial experiment started by Richard Lenski in 1988 was intended to prove evolution. Today, after over 65,000 generations of bacteria, we know that no evolution has occurred. Indeed, much has happened in terms of genetic degradation and loss of function. Evolutionists' best bet was that E. Coli was able to utilize citrate under acidic conditions. Later, it has become clear that this adaptive change was also based on a reorganization of existing biological information.
“Here we show why it probably was not a speciation event… We conclude that the rarity of the LTEE mutant was an artifact of the experimental conditions and not a unique evolutionary event. No new genetic information (novel gene function) evolved.” (Journal of Bacteriology)
- Human Eye
According to evolution believers, the human eye is poorly 'designed'. Evolutionary biologists thought that photons should pass through several layers before they reach the light-sensitive cells, called rods and cones. Nowadays, it is known that this is not the case; The so called Müller cells collect photons and direct the activity of rods and cones. Later, research has confirmed the optimal structure of the retina of the eye. Here too creationists were right. - Vestigial organs
After Darwin developed his theory, evolution believers have claimed that there are so called vestigial organs, some kind of evolutionary remnants in a human body. The list of vestigial organs in humans has shrunk from 180 in 1890 to 0 in 1999. Creationists were right. Again.
