              to conclude that life could never, in fact, have originated by

              chemical means. 6
                 No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated
              spontaneously as a result of blind coincidences, then it has to be
              accepted that life was "created." This fact explicitly invalidates the
              theory of evolution, whose main purpose is to deny Creation.


                 Imaginary Mechanism of Evolution

                 The second important point that negates Darwin's theory is that
              both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary
              mechanisms" were understood to have, in reality, no evolutionary
              power.
                 Darwin based his evolution allegation entirely on the

              mechanism of "natural selection." The importance he placed on
              this mechanism was evident in the name of his book: The Origin of
              Species, By Means of Natural Selection…
                 Natural selection holds that those living things that are stronger
              and more suited to the natural conditions of their habitats will
              survive in the struggle for life. For example, in a deer herd under

              the threat of attack by wild animals, those that can run faster will
              survive. Therefore, the deer herd will be comprised of faster and
              stronger individuals. However, unquestionably, this mechanism
              will not cause deer to evolve and transform themselves into
              another living species, for instance, horses.
