I put together a few links you may find relevant.
The first has a list of all the transitional fossils. I'd do a search for Tiktaalic, it's the transition from fish to land animal. Oh and if you want a modern day transition? Look up Skinks! they're migrating into the mountains and can both lay eggs aNd give live birth!
Te rest of the links are just to cknversations here at AF past that might be relevant to your studies on cosmological event, etc.
Cheers!

Thanks for all the resources. This weekend when I have more time I plan on looking into these, along with those other topics I've been meaning to get to. As for miracles, I'm still not 100% sure on my stance but it does seem like there's plausible atheistic explanations for them...either way I don't feel like miracles as a topic would be enough to decide my faith, so I won't be focusing on them too much.
For now, I've been doing some lighter research into atheists who converted into religion. Leah Libresco for example was apparently a notable atheist blogger who converted to Catholicism as it satisfied her questions about morals, primarily. I'm not sure how common it is, but in general why do you guys think some atheists end up converting to a religion?
