                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 theo-
           ry suggests.
                In this section, we will examine these three basic points in gen-
           eral 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 bil-
           lion years ago. How a single cell could generate millions of complex
           living 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
           supernatural 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
           primitive understanding of science in his time rested on the as-
           sumption that living beings had a very simple structure. Since me-
           dieval 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
