ing beings had a common ancestor and had diversified over
time through small changes. Darwin's theory was not based
on any concrete scientific finding; as he also accepted, it was
just an "assumption." Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the
long chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on Theory," the
theory failed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discover-

ies, which he expected to solve these difficulties. However, con-
trary to his expectations, scientific findings expanded the di-
mensions 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 mecha-
nisms" proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at

all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the
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
