theory suggests.
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 oc-
curred, why traces of it cannot be observed in the fossil record
are some of the questions that the theory cannot answer.
However, first and foremost, we need to ask: How did this
"first cell" originate?
Since the theory of evolution denies creation and any kind
of supernatural intervention, it maintains that the "first cell"
originated coincidentally within the laws of nature, without
any design, plan or arrangement. According to the theory,
inanimate matter must have produced a living cell as a result
of coincidences. Such a claim, however, is inconsistent with the
most unassailable rules of biology.

"LIFE COMES FROM LIFE"
In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The
primitive understanding of science in his time rested on the as-
sumption that living beings had a very simple structure. Since
medieval times, spontaneous generation, which asserts that
non-living materials came together to form living organisms,
had been widely accepted. It was commonly believed that in-
sects came into being from food leftovers, and mice from
