Because due to Darwins theory of evolution, fossils lead to adaptations over time therefor giving us reason to find evolution within human beings and animals.
Fossils are not used to oppose the theory of evolution. They acutually support it in every way. So far not one fossil has been found that is not exactly where you would expect it to be if evolution were true. As we dig deeper we go further back in time and see by piecing fossils together how organisms evolved over time. Although we don't need fossils to support the fact that evolution is happening, it's a nice bonus to have in support of the theory.
The principle of fossil succession and the theory of evolution have helped scientists explain the fossil record.
In every way.
Fossils provide amazing evidence for the theory of evolution and the long history of life on Earth.
Evolution is the theory that attempts to explain how changes in life forms take place over time. Paleontology is the science and study of the fossil lifeform record.
It is generally thought to support the Theory of Evolution.
There is strong support for the theory of evolution due to fossils that have been found by archeologists. The fossil records show evidence of evolution over billions of years.
It shows when the animal that made a fossil was alive.
Probably more in the line of many converging pieces of evidence in support of theory. Theory is explanation and fossils are just mineralized bones in the rock. which need and explanation. The fossil record supports the theory of evolution by natural selection and, some say, the theory of punctuated equilibrium.

Intermediate forms are predicted by evolutionary science in several ways. Their presence supports the theory of evolution.
The theory predicts that evolution will happen and in certain ways. The observed evolution makes this prediction correct. It also defines evolution as happening, and as such is perfect evidence in support of it.
yes
I do not so much " believe it " as I an convinced by the myriad lines of converging evidences that support the theory of evolution by natural selection. talkorigins.org
