• Since there are fossil remains of ancient life, we should be able to find some evidence for evolutionary change in the fossil record. The deepest (and oldest) layers of rock would contain the fossils of more primitive species, and some fossils should become more complex as the layers of rock become younger, with organisms resembling present-day species found in the most recent layers. And we should be able to see some species changing over time, forming lineages showing “descent with modification” (adaptation).
Once again, this isn't a prediction. Darwin knew of this when he wrote his book. This inspired him to come up with the idea of evolution. Of course, additional fossils have been found since then and many of them fit the model created - but many of them do not. There are so many truths that fly in the face of evolution.
