Do "Natural Selection" and "Intelligent Design" make testable predictions? Please note that strictly speaking "Natural Selection" is the scientific theory, not "Evolution." The theory of "Natural Selection" predicts that "Evolution" will occur. It does not predict "Intelligent Design".

"Natural Selection" predicts that organisms will evolve or change to adapt to their environments in order to produce more offspring. There are many tests of this prediction, and almost all scientists agree that the tests prove the theory definitively. But, you do not have to take the word of scientists. There are examples all around us which confirm Natural Selection. Have you ever heard of "resistant" bacteria, or "resistant" roaches? These amount to tests that confirm "Natural Selection."

People who are sick from a bacterial infection are given antibiotics to kill the bacteria. Over the years, some bacteria change to better survive the antibiotics, and they become more numerous. Less resistant bacteria die out. The development of resistant bacteria is a recognized medical dilemma, and a test that supports the scientific theory of "Natural Selection."

The development of "resistant roaches" is another confirmation of the scientific theory of "Natural Selection". We attack roaches in our homes with insecticide. The weaker die out. The stronger survive. The species evolves to result in roaches which are resistant to the insecticides being used. We have to keep changing our insecticides to combat this problem. The development of resistant insects also affects farming, and farmers understand the need to vary insecticides to maintain effectiveness. These are well known dilemmas, and positive tests of the scientific theory of "Natural Selection".

As far as I know, "Intelligent Design" does not make any testable predictions. If it does not, it is simply not science. Anyone who supports the theory is invited to specify testable predictions. If there are such predictions, it is a legitimate scientific theory, and we can put it to the test, and decide if it is a correct or incorrect theory.
