"Dr. DeWitt explains, “Individuals like Neil deGrasse Tyson make claims like this because they don’t understand how someone could make a scientific prediction based on the Bible. It is true that the Bible doesn’t have any details about DNA, or cells and experiments. Since we are talking about a historical question, we need a framework from which to make predictions about what to find.”
Because the Bible indicates all humans descended from Adam and Eve, Dr. DeWitt—long before the Neanderthal genome had been sequenced—hypothesized that Neanderthals were fully human, as genomic evidence now makes clear. Dr. DeWitt describes how to make a prediction within the creation model in “Does the Creation Model Make Predictions? Absolutely!.” He says, “The Neanderthal is the best example I have of a Bible-inspired prediction because it is very specific, it was my hypothesis, it is documented, and at the time I made it, it was based 100% on biblical creation and was diametrically opposed to the current scientific thinking.”" AIG
