THE PAINS OF THE FALSE WORLD

2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mecha-
nisms" proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil re c o rd proves the exact opposite of what the the-
ory suggests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in ge-
neral 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 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" origi-
nated coincidentally within the laws of nature, without any de-
sign, plan or arrangement. A c c o rding to the theory, inanimate
matter must have produced a living cell as a result of coinciden-
ces. Such a claim, however, is inconsistent with the most unassa-
ilable 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 stru c t u re. Since
