So they predicted that there are things that we don’t know and offered no clue as to what they were?...

No.

Evolutionists had assumed that "unused" DNA was "junk" DNA, the useless leftover byproduct resulting from a long process of macroevolution.

As it turn out, it wasn't useless at all, it is still being used, and as such, tends to indicate Intelligent Design.

Additionally, because ID predicted this, at lease one of the criticisms that had been levied against ID is now knocked down, for evolutionists had said that ID would not be able to make any testable predictions.

Once more, science tends to confirm theology. Let's get used to it, because we'll be seeing a lot more of it in the future.

Sweet vindication!

Some of it is but not all.

"As it turn out, it wasn't useless at all, it is still being used, and as such, tends to indicate Intelligent Design."

No one ever said all junk DNA is without function. You are either not ignorant of the definition of Junk DNA or intentionally misrepresenting it.

"Additionally, because ID predicted this,"

Here, let me make a prediction. Something will happen tomorrow. Aren't I brilliant too!!

Even telephone psychics do better than that.

A prediction would be to state specifically what that function is.
