Darwin’s (failed) Predictions – Cornelius G. Hunter – 2015
This paper evaluates 23 fundamental (false) predictions of evolutionary theory from a wide range of different categories. The paper begins with a brief introduction to the nature of scientific predictions, and typical concerns evolutionists raise against investigating predictions of evolution. The paper next presents the individual predictions in seven categories: early evolution, evolutionary causes, molecular evolution, common descent, evolutionary phylogenies, evolutionary pathways, and behavior. Finally the conclusion summarizes these various predictions, their implications for evolution’s capacity to explain phenomena, and how they bear on evolutionist’s claims about their theory.
*Introduction
Why investigate evolution’s false predictions?
Responses to common objections
*Early evolution predictions
The DNA code is not unique
The cell’s fundamental molecules are universal
*Evolutionary causes predictions
Mutations are not adaptive
Embryology and common descent
Competition is greatest between neighbors
*Molecular evolution predictions
Protein evolution
Histone proteins cannot tolerate much change
The molecular clock keeps evolutionary time
*Common descent predictions
The pentadactyl pattern and common descent
Serological tests reveal evolutionary relationships
Biology is not lineage specific
Similar species share similar genes
MicroRNA
*Evolutionary phylogenies predictions
Genomic features are not sporadically distributed
Gene and host phylogenies are congruent
Gene phylogenies are congruent
The species should form an evolutionary tree
*Evolutionary pathways predictions
Complex structures evolved from simpler structures
Structures do not evolve before there is a need for them
Functionally unconstrained DNA is not conserved
Nature does not make leaps
*Behavior
Altruism
Cell death
*Conclusions
What false predictions tell us about evolution
