100 TIMELESSNESS AND THE REALITY OF FATE

was Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species, pub-
lished in 1859. In this book, he opposed, in his
own eyes, the fact that Allah created different liv-
ing species on Earth separately, for he erroneous-
ly claimed that all living beings had a common
ancestor and had diversified over time through
small changes. Darwin's theory was not based
on any concrete scientific finding; as he also
accepted, it was just an "assumption." Moreover,
as Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his
book titled "Difficulties on Theory," the theory
failed in the face of many critical questions.
Charles Darwin Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scien-
tific discoveries, which he expected to solve these difficulties. However, con-
trary to his expectations, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of
these difficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be
reviewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mechanisms" pro-
posed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory suggests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in general out-
lines:
The First Insurmountable Step:

The Origin of Life
The theory of evolution posits that all living species evolved from a sin-
gle living cell that emerged on the primitive Earth 3.8 billion 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 ignorantly denies Creation, it main-
tains that the "first cell" originated as a product of blind coincidences
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 unassail-
able rules of biology.
