Evolution is not history. It is a speculation about history based on
fragmentary evidence capable of alternate interpretations by people
based on their inherent biases corrollated with their world view and
personal philosophy.

Evolution predicts nothing and accommodates everything observed by a
smorgabord of alternative postulates to its root theorems. Prediction
is forward looking evolution looks back at events and creates just so
stories inventing new terms, new mechanisms, new explanations as
needed, none of which can be varified by the experimental method,
recreated in the present, or explained at the genetic level.

Random mutation and natural selection are both highly randomness
dominated processes and thus predicting anything by evolutionary
paradigms is simply impossible.

A filter doesn't yield any predicable outcome if its bandwidth is
determined by random parameters like weather, climate change, cosmic
catastrophe, floods, earthquakes, flash floods, predation, disease
outbreaks, etc.


OK, so we can add "prediction" to the list of concepts whose meaning
*as used in science* you have misunderstood. For someone who claims
to be studying the history of science you seem to make incredibly
basic errors. I mean _really_, thinking that theory-confirming
predictions are necessarily about predicting future events? That's so
not post-secondary.
