Assumptions are made by human beings. Evolution does not even require human beings, much less assumptions. The theory of evolution is based on much more than fossil record, especially now that so much more is known about molecular biology, gene mapping, etc. Darwin didn't know about any of that stuff, but by strange coincidence, it all meshes rather well with his theory.
Who is Hawkins? No modern biologist would say that the earth is trying to fool us, as it is not possessed of any kind of intent or caring about anything - although advocates of ID might say such a thing...
