That's another misrepresentation. In that link he says "To be fair, there’s still plenty of evidence for evolution."
It sounds like he's a skeptic who demands proof of the things we're not supposed to question. That's a good thing.
But some people don't like it and misrepresent his words to try to discredit him.
Edit: I agree that Adams is not a scientist and doesn't understand how science works. That article gets an F in my book. Nonetheless, suggesting that asking questions is the same as claiming something "isn't real" is, itself, an anti-scientific view.
I don't know about fossils, but a lot of current scientific thinking probably is still wrong. We recently had a big scientific revolution when genetic sequencing revealed that much of the thinking at that time was wrong.
Also, it's absurd to interpret his comedic exaggerations literally.
> that evolution isn't real
