changes. Darwin's theory was not based on
any concrete scientific finding; as he also ac-
cepted, 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 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 re-
viewed 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 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 can-
not 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 su-
pernatural intervention, it maintains that the "first cell" originated co-
