As Jason points out, a prediction in science is how you test a theory. Most predictions are about the nature of evidence that has yet to be found, and he mentions Tiktaalik as an excellent example of such a prediction. Evolution has been remarkably successful at making such predictions. O'Leary's predictions, on the other hand, are exactly what we have come to expect from ID advocates - nothing but god of the gaps arguments whose only predictions are that evolution will fail to explain this or that phenomenon.
