How can one make a prediction without assuming their own conclusion?

When scientists make predictions based on the TOE, they're assuming that the TOE is correct and basing their predictions on that assumption.

Your prediction, and the test of that prediction, is based on a negative, which is a backwards way of going about things. What your are basically saying is "meet my demands or goddidit". You are making the claim, the onus is on you to provide the evidence.

I am basing my prediction (that no solution will ever be found for the OOL) based on the assumption that we live in a God-centered universe.

What would it take to invalidate your prediction?

Contrast that with the prediction that preceded the find of Tiktaalik.
