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 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 Earth 3.8 bil-
lion years ago, supposed to have happened as a result of
coincidences. 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 maintains 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 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
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 experiments were conduct-
