I think we are not completely communicating. I was specifically referring
to fossil animals, not to miracles at Cana etc. While God does intervene,
it doesn't mean that God intervenes in everything. By intervene I mean the
contradiction of natural law (which is a constant expression of God's
sovreignty.)
What allows you to make the assumption that God MUST intervene in the
creation of animals? God doesn't intervene in the motion of the planets.

I would just say that 'may have happened' can't be construed as DID happen.
You may be right that PC is correct. I just see no compelling reason to
hold it other than an extrapolation of things like you suggest.
