Without the data, precise prediction is impossible; however, there is the
prediction that a large mutation or an accumulation of small mutations with
large net effect may occur. Given the current interest in developmental
genetics, I would not be surprised if labs are soon (years to decades) able
to make fish with legs, amphibians with eggshells, and similar evolutionary
transitions. Unless Christians acknowledge God's ability to do such
things, they will be in trouble.
On the other hand, I cannot think of any testable prediction of an
intelligent design pattern without observing the designer designing, even
if we had the data. If the designer can do whatever he likes, how can one
predict it?
