               nisms" proposed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
                    3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the the-
               ory suggests.

                    In this section, we will examine these three basic points in
               general outlines:


                        The First Insurmountable Step
                        The First Insurmountable Step: :
                                 The Origin of Life
                                 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 bil-
               lion years ago. How a single cell could generate millions of com-
               plex 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 co-
               incidences  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 coincidences. Such a
               claim, however, is inconsistent with the most unassailable rules of
               biology.


                              "Life Comes From Life"
                              "Life Comes From Life"
                    In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The
               primitive understanding of science in his time rested on the as-
               sumption that living beings had a very simple structure. Since me-
               dieval times, spontaneous generation, which asserts that non-liv-
               ing materials came together to form living organisms, had been
               widely accepted. It was commonly believed that insects came into
