he expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary to his ex-
pectations, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these
difficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be re-

viewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mecha-
nisms" proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theo-
ry suggests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in gen-
eral 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 Earth 3.8 billion years ago,
supposed to have happened as a result of coincidences. How a sin-
gle 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 theo-
ry cannot answer. However, first and foremost, we need to ask:
How did this "first cell" originate?
Since the theory of evolution ignorantly denies Creation, it
maintains that the "first cell" originated as a product of blind co-
incidences within the laws of nature, without any 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 biolo-
gy.
