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 mecha-
nisms" proposed 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 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 the prim-
itive 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 fore-
most, 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 coin-
