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?

If our world was not predictable to some extent we couldn't survive. Our survival have something to do with the fact that we can predict things and make decisions. But that doesn't mean that it was not created.

Well that's true but it's also beside the point.

This is not a question that can demonstrate that god doesn't exist or that our universe wasn't created.
It's a question that asks if a creation model can supply any demonstrable predictions.

@Pikachu It cannot supply any demonstrable predictions because if this universe was created it must have done so by methods that is outside of the rules that governs this universe.
