103. What are the other pieces of evidence that
refute evolution?

It is possible to delve into the details of many of these
pieces of evidence, but the principal ones are the following:
- First of all, contemporary science has conclusively
proved that animate matter cannot emerge from inanimate
matter.
- So far, not a single transitional intermediate form of fos-
sil has been unearthed to support the evolutionist claim that
living beings have evolved from each other. Although millions
of fossils belonging to normal species have been found, there
