The fossil evidence shows that the Earth's climate before had high levels of carbon dioxide. The plants that evolved consumed this carbon dioxide out of the air and formed oxygen, coal, limestone, and other fuels.
When we examine the fossil record we see that the Earth has not always had the same living organisms living on it that it has today, but rather, there have been many changes, some gradual and some abrupt, over the past few billion years, and those changes show progressive alterations of exactly the kind that evolution would be expected to produce. The fossil record tells us that yes, life has evolved.
== == Homologous provide evidence for evolution because it shows the similarities and how we evolved from the same ancestors
The fossil record shows that there was many different species that were here on Earth millions of years ago and are now extinct. It also provides evidence about the past climate or whether the fossil was found in a shallow bay, and ocean bottom, or a freshwater swamp. Next time, don't ask wiki for answers to your homework. Do it yourself. ;)
One example of a fossil record is an ammonite. These fossils often show signs of damage like teeth marks that can be used to determine old predators on the sea floor. Another is an fossil depicting early man, which can be used to see how humans have evolved physically and mentally.

Fossils can be used as evidence for evolution because they can show the development of a species over a long period of time.

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.

Dinosaur footprints are called trace fossils because they show evidence of animal activity. Worm holes and burrows can also be fossilized, falling into the 'trace fossil' category.
Fossils show clear evidence that the earliest human species had many apelike features & have evolved over the years.
Fossils show evidence of evolution by showing a picture to the past and through some methods how DNA of one animal may be similar to that of a modern animal.
God made the first people, who were the ancestors of everyone, including atheists. We have free-will, which God gave us and can even be used to deny Him.See also:Is there evidence for Creation?Can you show that God exists?Seeing God's wisdom

Evidence supports a model in which periods of relative stability are punctuated by short periods of rapid (relatively speaking) change. It could, theoretically, be possible for evolution to proceed in a gradual manner. However, mathematical modelling and fossil evidence show that punctuated equilibrium is the norm.
