Evolution is a process by which life forms change to suit their environment. It has nothing to do with "predicting" the condition of fossils.
That's like saying that meteorology never predicted that the puddle in my driveway would resemble Lake Erie.
Defining evolution in those terms is indistinguishable from a created, adaptive biology.
Haven't you ever wondered why 'evolution' must be described in terms that are indistinguishable from a created biology? Maybe so that you can reconcile the reality to the theory?
Fact is, there is no *evidence* that is inconsistent with a created, adaptive biology; only *interpretations* of evidence.
