What, creationists predict that people will make mistakes? I predict people will use the bathroom today.

Of course we make mistakes, they hold us to much higher standards than their ultimate answer - “Because He did it that way.”

The scientists at ICR not only predicted the Evos made a HUGE mistake, but they also predicted how the Evos would handle it (by sweeping it under the rug). In other words, ICR nailed it!

What the debacle illustrates is that Darwinist true believers are so quick to jump on “discoveries” proving their talking points, that they often end up with egg on their faces when the data is given a second look. This is not to besmerch the serious scientists working in the field but rather a criticism aimed at the would be Dawkinses who tend to bash creationists before the the data has been fully vetted.

You missed the point. Using your analogy:

Scientist: "This door handle proves an evolutionary link between out-houses and indoor plumbing."
Creationist: "It proves no such thing. You haven't observed any such transition. You mistake similar parts for causality. I predict you'll eventually understand that."
Scientist: "Will you excuse me. I need to use the restroom."

The valid point is that the find was hyped as something it was not. Of course people make mistakes, but hyping the find before validation was not an accident, it was a political ploy. Trumpeting a find as more than it is and later quietly retracting the claim is a tactic that belongs to the NY Times, not the scientific community. That is, unless there are similarities by necessity.

Regardless of what side a person holds to, intellectual dishonesty is pathetic and suggests either self centered arrogance, a lack of faith in the validity of ones own framework or both.

Here we go again.

Scientists are the heroes because now science demonstrates what creationists knew all along.

No prediction just pointing out another lie.
