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 evolution-
ary 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 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 coincidences. Such a claim, however, is
inconsistent with the most unassailable rules of biology.
