I thought Creationism was not supposed to be a scientific theory capable of falsification.

Creationism is no more a "theory" than Scientology.

State in your own words which predictions the Toe predicted.

What to look for and where to look if you want to find a transition between fish and amphibians. Tiktaalik was found.

Darwin said that the transitions between people and the other apes would be found in Africa. They have been.

He also said that whales evolved from land animals. Some of the transitionals have been found in the last decade.

Then there are prodictions about one animal's genome, based on data from other anmimals' genomes. EG,if a genetic marker is found in both cows and pigs, it will also be found in hippos and whales. Batting 1000 so far

What a joke your statements are. Dimensio says that predictions have been seen. Predictions aren't made according to past events. Predictions are for future events. Your statements are like Dimensio would say, non sequitur.

First, they deduced where to dig from the theory, and then found something the theory said had once existed.

The statement was made that predictions have been observed. Digging into the past does not make them "observed". If so, who observed them and when did they make their predictions?
