How can seismologists and other scientist predict earthquakes and protect people fro the damage caused by earthquakes?
They can't at the moment, at least not to the extent they would like. Seismologists want, more than anything, to be able to confidently announce: "There will be an earthquake of between 6.1 and 6.3 Richter occurring in Pleasant Valley within the next 48 hours." That's the ideal. Unfortunately, the technology is a long way from there yet. To paraphrase into the vernacular, the very best earthquake warning system we have at present would be to hear an annoucement that said: "There is somewhere between a pretty good chance and a really good chance there will be an earthquake of undetermined strength in the Pleasant Valley Area anywhere between today and nine months from now".
What is the place of origin of an earthquake?

Why do people want to predict the future?
On reason we would all want to predict the future is that by being forewarned we can do something we otherwise would not have done, and thereby avoid harm or achieve good fortune. Of course the very fact that we would do anything differently means that no one can predict the future.
