"A recent practical application was the discovery of Tiktaalik: the ToE was used to predict what an intermediate between fish and amphibians would look like, "

The TOE does make a lot of predictions like that. Most of which are never found. And much of what is found, is questionable. And often forced fit into what evolution predicted. Like skull 1470 being reconstructed out of 100 pieces to look like a man-ape with a flat face when it was just an ape with a sloping face.

Tiktaalik is indeed an excellent example. Did you perhaps miss all the threads debunking this as a missing link? And showing the simliarities to existing shallow water fish.

Tiktaalik: Our Ancestor?

Another fishy missing link

Put up or shut up. What are you talking about?

Show me the peer-reviewed questioning.

The links don't work. Of course there are similarities to fish - but also to amphibians. Show some peer-reviewed evidence, not DI or AiG armchair speculation. The review is important because the creationist and ID advocacy groups have an extremely poor record when it comes to telling the truth.

BTW, it appears that you acknowledge that it was found where the ToE said it would be.
