                                       ously claimed that all living beings had a
                                          common ancestor and had diversified
                                           over time through small changes.
                                            Darwin's theory was not based on any
                                             concrete scientific finding; as he also
                                             accepted, it was just an "assumption."
                                             Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the
                                             long chapter of his book titled
                                            "Difficulties on Theory," the theory

                                          failed in the face of many critical ques-
                                        tions.
                                          Darwin invested all of his hopes in new
                 Charles Darwin  scientific discoveries, which he expected to solve
                                these difficulties. However, contrary to his expecta-
               tions, 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"
               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 theory of evolution posits that all living species evolved from
               a single 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 ob-
               served in the fossil record are some of the questions that the theory can-
