Questions for theo-evolutionists and evos

To answer your questions1) I don't know how many fossils have been classified as being intermediates between species, howevr I do know that some have been found. One example is the so-called "archaic" homo sapiens specimens.
I will also point out that many creationists accept - and even insist - that evolution at this level is entirely possible.2) The prophecies in Daniel were mostly written after the fact, although I am not sure that the reason would be considered "sinister". The purpose seems to have been to encourage Jewish resistance to the Seleucid monarch Antiochus Epiphanes (the "King of the North") who had conquered the region and was attempting to suppress the Jewish religion.

There are no original manuscripts for any part of the Bible. However there is strong evidence that the prophecies in Daniel were written at about that time.To summarise some of the evidence:
1) The book is classified among the "Writings" rather than the "Prophets". If Daniel had been written when Daniel supposedly lived - even the parts dealing with Daniel's life this would be very surprising. On the other hand if Daniel were late it would be expected.2) There is no clear reference to the book or Daniel the person prior to that date.3) There are historical errors in the parts dealing with Daniel's life (for instance the Persians overcame the Medes prior to conquering Babylon - Daniel reverses these events).4) The prophecies are clearly directed against Antiochus. I suggest comparing the prophecies to the other accounts of the period such as Josephus and 1 and 2 Maccabees, as well as modern historians.5) The prophecies are wrong concerning the death of Antiochus. This is exactly what we would expect if the prophecies were written shortly before that time.
