The objective of secular science is to prove the theory of macro-evolution over eons of time?

There we go again!!

oops First off - I think you mean objective not agenda? Funny how conservative commentary has blurred and misused this term over the last 15 or so years.

As far as "attempting to turn a pig's tooth, or a few random or structurally deformed bones into a viable transitional hominid, in a vain attempt to substantiate theorm." A GREAT DEAL of information can be gleaned from fragmentary evidence with high levels (altho less than 100%) accuracy, and scientific investigation techniques with allowances for error, correction and falsifiability will isolate & correct wrong conclusions, as was the case with the "pig's tooth" - if we're both thinking of the same incident- may hve to double check that one- it's a bit vague.

But then keep in mind the limitation of the fact that "millions of years of time" cannot be reproduced in a laboratory, and if you stop to think about - neither can "6000 years" - itself a petty immense span of time!

No problem, but what the original topic post was referring to was misleading usage of the word "witness", as if to imply the creation events had somehow been verified and recorded, in real-time, as they happened.

Not exactly.

The original question:

He asked a question about if Adam was the first human and Eve was the second, who was it that witnessed this event? How was this event in the Bible if neither of them wrote it and nobody was there to witness it?

The answer is that the LORD GOD was there, and He testified of the event.

Certainly - no problem. "testified" being pretty much the same as "Witness" (to "tell of" not necessarily direct, real-time observation) I gave earlier.

If you actually listen to an atheist, they can be rather convincing and if youre not careful form some doubt in your mind.

I know most of them go by the Darwin theory or whatever his name is. Well, I have a question about that. IF we came from frogs or apes or whatever they say, WHERE ARE THE FOSSILS??? There is going to be a time when man was halfape and halfman or 1/4 & 3/4, so WHERE is the fossil of this?

---

Wandering a bit off-topic,but what you're referring to are transitional fossils and yes, there are numerous examples.

Probably the biggest (silliest, even) misconception with this, is that somehow a fossil will magically transform before one's very own eyes to reveal it "changing" from one form to another.

That's not how it works.

Each fossil is a unique, one-time occurring event that is a witness(!), in a sense to life conditions very long ago.

Compiled fossil evidence of early hominid forms demonstrates the slow, gradual transition to the form of "modern man" homo sapiens. Man did not evolve from monkeys - evolutionary science makes no such claim.

Understanding this in no way qualifies a person as being an "atheist", btw
