there never was a prediction that we would observe gradualism everywhere in the fossil record.
Seriously? Is that because you say so?
Again, Darwin wrote " Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely graduated organic chain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory.”
Try to think rationally. It is impossible for sediments to be continually deposited everywhere on the Earth for the Earth's entire history.
No one is asking for “everyware on earth" but simply, we are talking about global events on a tremendous scale. IOW, every single life ever existed allegedly came through millions of transitional forms, every single life, no exception. Such massive prediction must yield abundance of evidence as stated by Darwin himself (above). It should be the dominant rule in the fossil record not merely some alleged exceptions.
