Earth 3.8 billion years ago. How a single cell could generate mil-
lions 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 coinci-
dences. Such a claim, however, is inconsistent with the most
unassailable rules of biology.

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
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 in-
sects 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 be-
lieved that mice would originate from it after a while.
Similarly, maggots developing in rotting meat was as-
sumed to be evidence of spontaneous generation. However, it
was later understood that worms did not appear on meat spon-
taneously, but were carried there by flies in the form of larvae,
invisible to the naked eye.
Even when Darwin wrote The Origin of Species, the belief
that bacteria could come into existence from non-living matter
