as Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book titled "Difficulties on
Theory," the theory failed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discoveries, which he
expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary 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 denies creation and any kind of supernat-
ural 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, 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 un-
derstanding 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 organ-
isms, 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
