Be real - how much stock would you put in the "predictive" powers of someone who can only "predict" the past?

Quite a lot if that person keeps finding valuable mineral deposits for an example from another field, or who predicts in advance of mapping genomes what similarities they will have with the genomes of other species for an evolutionary biology example.

I don't put a lot of stock in people who raise bogus objections to the numerous (some of them startling) predictions made by the theory of evolution. For example it was predicted that a fossil sequence from land-mammals to whales would be found, and eventually it was. How would ID predict that?

It is true that it would be an interesting experiment to take a section of some species’ population from an environment, dump it in a different, but habitable environment and predict the effects of evolution. Thing is, the species could evolve in an unexpected manner. How accurate would you have to be to pass the test? And the experiment would take a long time.

Has this been tried at all?

This I gotta see. Do you have a quick link?

How would ID predict that?

I'm not sure that ID is any better at predicting than the ToE.
