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, suppo-
sed to have happened as a result of coincidences. How a single cell

could generate millions of complex living species and, if such an evo-
lution 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 ignorantly denies Creation, it
maintains that the “first cell” originated as a product of blind coinci-
dences 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 biology.

“Life Comes From Life”
In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The primi-
tive 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 orga-
nisms, had been widely accepted. It was
commonly believed that insects 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
