^^ From the above thread:
"..That idea, which is now quite obvious, was not so much evident sixty years ago, when the "absolute truth" in the scientific community was the Steady State theory, which said that the universe had always existed. That is what Einstein and his colleagues believed. Cosmologists back then mocked the Bible as ludicrous and ignorant because it says the universe had a beginning, while science had proved beyond doubt that it had always existed." -

The term Prophet certainly isn't limited to making predictions, quite true. You might find this commentary on Deuteronomy 18 interesting..
"Pulpit Commentary
"A Prophet. The Hebrew word so rendered (נָבִיא) is a derivative from a verb (נָבָא), which signifies to tell, to announce; hence the primary concept of the word is that of announcer, or forth-speaker; and to this the word "prophet" (Greek προφήτης from πρόφημι, I speak before or in place of) closely corresponds; the prophet is one who speaks in the place of God, who conveys God's word to men, who is an interpreter of God to men. (As illustrative of the meaning of the word, cf. Exodus 7:1; Exodus 4:16.)
Hence Abraham is called a prophet ( Genesis 20:7), and the term is applied to the patriarchs generally (Psalm105:15); God conveyed his mind to them, and they spoke it forth to others. "

Theists, why does God allow suffering..
by The Quiet One in..specifically, the suffering of animals.
you can talk about free will/sin/people choosing to not listen to god etc to explain human suffering being allowed.. but how can you love a god that allows animals, that haven't sinned or chosen to not have anything to do with god, to have their short lives ended in often long, drawn out, painful ways.
i could list stories i've read that would probably make you feel ill, but i'm not looking to shock anyone or start an emotional debate.

"So I'll just list the times that God killed or commanded others to kill animals."

Artificial Blood Is Patient-Ready
by cantleave inhttp://www.the-scientist.com/?articles.view/articleno/39718/title/artificial-blood-is-patient-ready/.
a new source of blood could be just around the corner: red blood cells grown from fibroblasts that have been reprogrammed into mature red blood cells in the lab.
the blood, developed by researchers at the university of edinburgh and the scottish national blood transfusion service (snbts), would be type o negative, also known as universal donor blood, which currently comprises just 7 percent of the blood donor pool.. we have made red blood cells that are fit to go in a persons body, project leader marc turner, medical director at snbts, told forbes.
