There has been yet to be shwon a "fish dog" so to speak, so dig away my little porkchops, theorize away if you please.

Truth only smiles.

Evolution doesn't predict a "fish dog," although it does predict such intermediates as fish-amphibians, amphibian-reptiles, and mammal-like reptiles. Thing is, we find that kind of thing. The main article of this thread is about another instance of first category.

A fish-dog or amphibian-bird, or whatever, a thing far off the predicted tree of common descent, would be evidence against evolution. ID, a much looser hypothesis, would still be "fulfilled," since no find ever can falsify the idea that "God could have done THAT." However, that theory doesn't really tell you anything about what to expect. Thus, it's useless. There is a strong form of literal-Genesis creation which makes very strong predictions which were falsified before the end of the 19th century. That's useless, too, because it's wrong.
