did this "first cell" originate?
Since the theory of evolution ignorantly denies Creation,

Such a claim, however, is inconsistent with the most unassail-

able 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
wheat. Interesting experiments were conducted to prove this
theory. Some wheat was placed on a dirty piece of cloth, and it
was believed that mice would originate from it after a while.

Similarly, maggots developing in rotting meat was assumed
to be evidence of spontaneous generation. However, it was lat-
er understood that worms did not appear on meat sponta-
neously, but were carried there by flies in the form of larvae,
invisible to the naked eye.
Even when Darwin wrote The Origin of Species, the belief
that bacteria could come into existence from non-living matter

was widely accepted in the world of science.
However, five years after the publication of
