Predictions are all about the future. You look at the evidence, then you take a wild but educated guess at what comes next.
It’s the weatherman saying, “There’s a 70% chance of rain tomorrow.” It’s you betting that the underdog team will win the championship because the coach just gave that amazing pep talk.
Predictions are exciting because they’re a leap of faith. You’re saying, “Based on what I know, I think this is going to happen.”
