We recently reported on a study of 1,070 genes and how they contradicted each other in a couple dozen yeast species. Specifically, evolutionists computed the evolutionary tree, using all 1,070 genes, showing how the different yeast species are related. This tree that uses all 1,070 genes is called the concatenation tree. They then repeated the computation 1,070 times, for each gene taken individually. Not only did none of the 1,070 trees match the concatenation tree, they also failed to show even a single match between themselves. In other words, out of the 1,071 trees, there were zero matches. Yet one of the fundamental predictions of evolution is that different features should generally agree. It was “a bit shocking” for evolutionists, as one explained: “We are trying to figure out the phylogenetic relationships of 1.8 million species and can’t even sort out 20 yeast.” Read more

Dr. Hunter this major failed prediction for neo-Darwinism reminds me of another major failed prediction of neo-Darwinism that you pointed out last year. Namely the failed prediction that functional proteins in sequence space would be accessible to a random search
Thus it is not surprising that neo-Darwinists are facing another major failed prediction for lining up gene trees since it is shown to be extremely unlikely that functional proteins are accessible to a random search in the first place. Both these drastically failed foundational predictions of neo-Darwinism remind me of this observation of Dr. Berlinski:
There is simply no solid prediction that a person can latch onto within neo-Darwinian theory as one can with other major theories of science. In fact, to repeat, for neo-Darwinism we find, instead, drastic failure of predictions,,
Now there is another prediction of neo-Darwinism, at least a prediction of the atheistic form of neo-Darwinism as it is popularly taught in schools,,, a failed prediction for what we should find at the foundation of reality itself,,, a failed prediction called ‘realism’ that has failed by many ‘orders of magnitude’ as well.,, This failed prediction for ‘realism’, for the atheistic form of neo-Darwinism, held that the foundation of reality itself will be found to exist independent of whatever we ourselves do. i.e. The base of reality will be materialistic. But this is not what we find. Instead of reality existing completely independent of us and being completely indifferent to what we do,, as Dawkins had famously presumed,,,
,, we find instead that,,,
Moreover this falsification of the prediction for a materialistic reality which is indifferent to what we do exceeded even the 27 orders of magnitude failure for Darwinian processes to be able account for finding a single functional protein:
Now I really don’t fully understand what it means for ‘realism’, (the view that a reality exist ‘out there’ independent of our observation), to be violated by 80 orders of magnitude, but seeing as the entire universe is held to have ‘only’ 80 orders of magnitude elementary particle in it, I would be inclined to think this is another major failed prediction for neo-Darwinism, at least the atheistic form of neo-Darwinism as is popularly taught in schools today.

Vertebrate Gene Expression and Other Properties Don’t Support a “Phylotypic” Stage – Casey Luskin – June 14, 2013
Excerpt: a new article in PLoS Genetics, “The Hourglass and the Early Conservation Models — Co-Existing Patterns of Developmental Constraints in Vertebrates,” shows that,, an analysis of the genome based on Darwinian assumptions fails to confirm many predictions of the “phylotypic” stage. This suggests that, as other papers have suggested, the phylotypic stage may not clearly exist. As the paper explains:
“During development, vertebrate embryos pass through a “phylotypic” stage, during which their morphology is most similar between different species. This gave rise to the hourglass model, which predicts the highest developmental constraints during mid-embryogenesis. In the last decade, a large effort has been made to uncover the relation between developmental constraints and the evolution of the genome. Several studies reported gene characteristics that change according to the hourglass model, e.g. sequence conservation, age, or expression. Here, we first show that some of the previous conclusions do not hold out under detailed analysis of the data.”
