DARWINISM REFUTED

In Darwin's time, it was thought that
the cell had a very simple structure.
Darwin's ardent supporter Ernst
Haeckel suggested that the above mud
pulled up from the bottom of the sea
could produce life by itself.

The Complex Structure and Systems in the Cell
The complex structure of the living cell was unknown in Darwin's
day and at the time, ascribing life to "coincidences and natural conditions"
was thought by evolutionists to be convincing enough. Darwin had
proposed that the first cell could easily have formed "in some warm little
pond." 239 One of Darwin's supporters, the German biologist Ernst Haeckel,
examined under the microscope a mixture of mud removed from the sea
bed by a research ship and claimed that this was a nonliving substance
that turned into a living one. This so-called "mud that comes to life,"
known as Bathybius haeckelii ("Haeckel's mud from the depths"), is an
indication of just how simple a thing life was thought to be by the
founders of the theory of evolution.
The technology of the twentieth century has delved into the tiniest
particles of life, and has revealed that the cell is one of the most complex
systems mankind has ever confronted. Today we know that the cell
contains power stations producing the energy to be used by the cell,
factories manufacturing the enzymes and hormones essential for life, a
databank where all the necessary information about all products to be
