Prediction doesn’t have to mean literally predicting future events; it can mean predicting what more we will discover about the past.
E by NS holds that there is one tree of life (at least for complex organisms), just like a family tree. That is a prediction. It means that we won’t find a human in the same fossil stratum and dating to the same time period as a fishlike creature that’s supposed to be our great-to-the-nth-power grammy. So that’s a prediction about our future discoveries, one that has been borne out. That’s one example from a non-expert.
