Hello, how is everyone's Chistmas season? Basically there are three questions I would like to throw out for answering:
1) How many, if any, confirmed inter-speciary fossils have been found? You know, the fossils that demonstrate gradual evolution between the species.
2) How do you explain OT prophecy that came to pass in real life, such as the accounts in Daniel. Were they just added in later by someone else or is there a less sinister explination for them?
And for any theo-evolutionists:
3) How do you explain the last segment of the creation story in which the Bible claims that God makes man out of clay and with breath from his nostrils? Doesn't that directly contradict the evolutionary explanation in which man evolves from monkeys?
Thanks a lot for any answers. I was raised to be a Christian-theo, but within the last few years I've come to doubt a lot of the biblical accounts and the creation story is no exception to the rule.

Hello everyone, thanks for all the replies:
Crashfrog: I see how this would create some different species,like foxes or types of frogs, especially when natural selection and environment and added in. But then how do you make species that are radically different from eachother, like horses and cats? The number of animal species in existance doesn't seem to account for the whole evolutionary chain, you would need for there to be intermediary species, like the half-evolved chimps that aren't quite human yet. These are the sort of fossils I was referring to. The fossil record seems to me like it would be the most reliable source of evidence for determining what actually happened, since it would provide us with historic data, thus why I was asking that question.
PaulK: Has this been proven or is it just theory? Have manuscripts been found or are people still guessing at the origins of the text. It would seem sinister to me because the people adding the new passages would no doubt have an alterior motive for doing so...
Prozacman: Very interesting explanation. Do you or most other evo-theos believe the overall message of the bible (Humans needing Christ to give them salvation)is accurate or do most theo-evos think its just a myth?
