The Deception of Evolution

years ago. How a single cell could generate millions of complex liv-
ing 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 su-
pernatural 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, how-
ever, 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 prim-
itive understanding of science in his time rested on the assumption
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 insects came into being from food
leftovers, and mice from
wheat. Interesting experi-
ments were conducted to
prove this theory. Some
wheat was placed on a dirty
piece of cloth, and it was be-
lieved that mice would orig-
inate from it after a while.

Louis Pasteur destroyed the be-
lief that life could be created
from inanimate substances.
