As far as, evolution 'predicting' anything, thats all it ever has done. Come up with a theory then go looking for evidence to prop it up. Most scientists look at the evidence, then come up with a theory.

old comment by David D.G.

Actually, he's right in that science does work that way, looking at evidence and coming up with a theory to explain it. He's wrong (and/or lying) in his contention that evolutionary theory was arrived at by anything else.
Darwin and Wallace each independently came up with the theory of evolution by natural selection AFTER looking at the evidence before them contained in the living natural world and in the fossil record. The theory (as ALL scientific theories do) predicted what SHOULD happen if the theory was correct -- i.e., that other forms of life (both living and fossilized) would be found that fit in with this same concept, and that none would be found that contradicted it. That's how theories are tested; it takes only ONE contradiction to invalidate a scientific theory. And you know what? That theory has never been disproved in its basic concept. It is more fully tested than relativity and as sound as the germ theory of disease. ~David D.G.
