Now predict the next evolutionary steps that will occur in the next ten years.

I have in my hand a ball. Predict, using your knowledge of gravity, whether or not the ball will be dropped down a flight of stairs in the next two hours.

I have in my hand a ball.

It's a dodge ball. We'll stand by for the rambler.

"I have in my hand a ball. Predict, using your knowledge of gravity, whether or not the ball will be dropped down a flight of stairs in the next two hours."

Well, if that is the analogy you use, then there are problems with evolution being on par with celestial mechanics.
your question is the crux of the problem I have with evolution. The proponents claim to be so damn-fire certain of all the mechanisms and facts behind it, and yet when challenged, they fall back into inane sophistry.

They'd be better off placing their subject matter into psychology or sociology type 'sciences', until they know more.

Well, there you are being an "intelligent designer". You have the ball and the decision when and where to drop it is your own. The dynamics and sciences of balls, stairs and gravity all apply -- yet there you are in the midst of it. In complete control.
