I do not deny reality. I deny how it is interpreted by others.
Then the question becomes - What makes one interpretation superior to another? Right?

Fortunate, then, that such a feat is impossible. However, I can disagree with scientists, and I most certainly would.
Do you agree that specific verified predictions add considerable positive and objective weight to a theory? An example would be the precise predicted nature of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. Another example would be the prediction and subsequent discovery of Tktaalik.
Do you agree that such examples add considerable weight to the Big Bang theory and the theory of Evolution respectively?

According to the Big Bang theory, the frequency spectrum of the CMB should have this blackbody form. This was indeed measured with tremendous accuracy by the FIRAS experiment on NASA's COBE satellite.
This figure shows the prediction of the Big Bang theory for the energy spectrum of the cosmic microwave background radiation compared to the observed energy spectrum. The FIRAS experiment measured the spectrum at 34 equally spaced points along the blackbody curve. The error bars on the data points are so small that they can not be seen under the predicted curve in the figure! There is no alternative theory yet proposed that predicts this energy spectrum.
And here is the
Tiktaalik prediction:
link writes:
These paleontologists made the prediction that such a transitional form must exist in order to bridge the gap between fish and amphibians. Even more, they predicted that such a species should exist in the late Devonian period, about 375 million years ago.
So they spent several years digging through the earth on Ellesmere Island in Northern Canada, because geological and paleontological evidence suggested that exposed strata there was from the late Devonian. They predicted that, according to evolutionary theory, at this time in history a creature should have existed that was morphologically transitional between fish and amphibians. They found Tiktaalik - a fishopod, beautifully transitional between fish and amphibians.
Are there any comparable (or indeed any) creationist predictions which have been verified?
