Can creationism make verifiable predictions? Can creationism be considered in the same realm as science? [Spirituality & Religion]

For something to be a scientific theory, it must be predictive.
That is to say, it must be able to specifically predict something which has not yet been observed.

Evolution theory can and has done this.
For example, Tiktaalik.
It was predicted that an organism demonstrating certain features would be found in a geological layer representing a certain time period.
And that prediction was validated.

What verifiable predictions can a creation-based world view make?

@Pikachu my thoughts on this subject are why can't it be both?
@KaiserSolze

Well it can't be both depending on how you define the terms.

If you interpret creationism to mean that there is a ultimately a god responsible for life on this planet then it is not falsifiable and may therefore be true.

If you interpret creationism to mean that all animals were created in their present form over a period of a week then creation and evolution ARE mutually exclusive.
