THE WINTER OF ISLAM AND THE SPRING TO COME
272

Through his experiments, Louis Pasteur
invalidated the idea that “life can
emerge from inanimate matter,” on
which the theory of evolution is based.

Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discoveries, which
he expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary to his expecta-
tions, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these difficulties.
The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed under
three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mechanisms"
proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory sug-
gests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in general
outlines:

The First Insurmountable Step:
The Origin of Life
The theory of evolution posits that all living species evolved from a
single living cell that emerged on the primitive Earth 3.8 billion years
ago. How a single cell could generate millions of complex living species
and, if such an evolution really occurred, why traces of it cannot be ob-
served in the fossil record are some of the questions that the theory can-
not answer. However, first and foremost, we need to ask: How did this
"first cell" originate?
Since the theory of evolution ignorantly denies Creation, it main-
