Evolutionist often say that creationism doesn't make any predictions. That there is no way to potentially falsify it. Well, I think that if a Creationist theory includes the Ark and Mankind's fall from Eden there is a nifty prediction that it makes. In fact, it's so nifty that if it's right it could mean that we could solve all sorts of age related diseases.
Here's how it goes:
So most people know of psuedogenes and how evolutionist say they prove evolution. Creationists then reply that psuedogenes might yet have a purpose that we don't know about. I don't think they need to say that. Creationist should embrace psuedogenes, because they show what creationists have been saying all along. In fact, according to creationism, there should be LOTS of psuedogenes.
After all, when all the animals went onto the Ark, there were for the most part only 2 of each kind. Since then, the kinds have undergoing rapid speciation, losing qualities that thier Ark kind must have had. Those qualities should be located in their DNA as psuedogenes! This should even allow the exact discovery of where on the classification ladder you should put the term "kinds."
But that's not even the best part. Remember how after the Fall people started aging and dying? Well, presumably God took away some of his sustaining power right away. But that couldn't have been the whole story because it took quite a few generations for people to reach thier currently short maximum life span. Noah lived to about 600 right? Well, presumably God wasn't using his mystical power to keep him alive that long. He must have had mechanisms in his DNA to let him get that elderly. And eventually mutations destroyed enough of them to make his decendents have a maximum life time of about 120. But those beneficial genes would still reside in all of us as psuedogenes!
So what do you think? Does that sound like a great research project for creationists or what? If someone was to find those psuedogenes and figure out how to turn them back on, they could prove the bible true and elimiate untold suffering by extending life by hundereds of years!
Any takers?
