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?

In the Bible God tells us the beginning, and the ending of History. We know the future because God told us how its going to end in His Word. But not only that, he has given us the signs to prepare us for the events.

To summarize God created the world, and the animals, and made man in His image. Man sinned like a prostitute we lust after everything except God, and fell away from God, So God cursed all of the creation. We can not get good standing again ever. .

We can't do anything at all. So God purchased us back to himself, when he redeemed us with his own blood. He was the slaughtered lamb to take away our sins, like he showed in the stories of the Jews who were told to slaughter a lamb as a sacrifice to Him at passover. It is a prediction of the cross of Jesus, the ultimate lamb who takes away our sins. So we can passover to heaven. And in revelations Jesus tells us that he is coming to judge the living and the dead soon. To repent and be faithful and warn people of coming doom. And he predicted all the signs of the last generation. We are that generation now.

We don't know all that from scientific research, we just have to read and it has all come true what was predicted in the past. So if we know the Bible is trustworthy because we have experienced it, then we can trust it to be true in the future. But not only that. But as a person trusts more and more, the more you can know for certain that this book is from God not from man. Because if you put your whole life on what it says because you have nothing to lose, it turns out so great every time. It is trustworthy. God means what He says. So "Creationism" if you want to call it that is trusting in what God did, and because the Bible stories have come true, we can expect them to come true here any day now. I know Jesus is coming any day!
