predict future speciation? I cannot.

predict that various "gaps" in the fossil record will be filled by the discovery of currently unknown fossils, and that the morphology of those fossils will be transitional between what came before and what came after? sure. I predict that.

now, as to predictions of what we do not expect: I predict that spontaneously occurring mutation leading to single-generation saltation between high-order taxa will never occur. If it does occur, the ToE shall be substantially falsified.

as to the ToE's supposed inability to back up its claims with empirical evidence - "fossil" genes containing errors common to humans and various forms of primate strongly support the taxonomic cladogram of shared descent.

I'll let the Big Dogs explain what that means to you, and hope you will take a clue from your UserID and actually connect the dots for once.

At least you admit their are gaps in evolution, including the absense of transitional forms. Seeing that there have been no transitional forms found in the fossil record, what leads you to believe they will be discovered? One would think, that after all this time, there would have been many transitional forms found.

Talk about blind faith!!!
