If you don't understand what I mean, leave it there.
Hate to burst your bubble but sometimes I'd happy to.

What I see is very clear. Secular scientists are very reluctant to make predictions about the future b/c the future is FALSIFIABLE, and they would make a fool of themselves by doing so.
It's a great point. While not only that evolution can't stand as a theory, but also that there simply none is developed regarding to evolution, no theory, no rule no nothing. As a result, they don't have a theory to be tested against, and they don't have a theory to use to do the required scientific predictions.
To simply put, unlike science, evolution never tries to fit data into a theorized model or preset formula, such that it has the flexibility to explain any data at will and by will. So whatever they call 'evolution' is, you can't use it to predict what's the next to evolve under the current earth environment and according to their preset "theory" because their 'theory' is no theory.
They keep collecting fossils and predict fossils and telling fairtales about fossils but none can justify their "theory" that environment+time=evolution. And their research is never about environment, it's never about time neither, no matter it's counted directly or indirectly, it's nothing about environment nor time but fossil, fossil and fossil.
Their essence is, to arrange similar things together and by skiping the required rules/theory then talk you into believing that things going successively (but without following preset rules like a true scientific theory shall be). And their argument is "this is true because no better explanation can be found".
That's why it can't be used to predict the future occurrance because there's no rule there to chain up that "successive samples". More like to place 2 laptop PC from 2 vendors and declare that one is evolved from the other, you can't predict "what's next" because your 2 PCs are not chained by a rule rather you talk others into believing that "one evolves" from the other.

While I doubt that it's a scientific theory, you need actually theorize the rules that your observations will follow. On the other hand, in other areas such as stock market, finance, politics, war tactics and so forth, you can loosely call any explanation on observations theory, but they are not scientific theory. And more strictly, even in those areas, "rules" need to be set up to further establish the so called theory to explain what would happen under what conditions.
That's what I am arguing about. You can't just explain away things by your will and call it "scientific theory", and observations will remain a speculation instead of a theory, as you can't testify any rules established to claim that "environment changes" animals. Moreover and in this case, I doubt that the environment is ever observed (either directly or indirectly), as if environment is observed, you'll be able to answer the question what will evolve under what environment, and to claim that exactly that observed environment changes the animals.

Hello "scientists", now tell me what a scientific theory is. Your best theory is that you don't have a theory at all. And the best argument you can leverage is that "there's no better explanation". So when you bring your 2 laptop PCs to some tribes in Africa, you'll be Einstein.
While you are advised to save your empty words and to show the math instead, like every true scientific theory does.
