ies, which he expected to solve the "Difficulties of the Theory."
However, contrary to his expectations, scientific findings ex-
panded the dimensions of these difficulties.
The defeat of Darwinism against science can be reviewed
under three basic topics:
1) The theory can by no means explain how life origi-
nated on the earth.
2) There is no scientific finding showing that the "evolu-
tionary mechanisms" proposed by the theory have any
power to evolve at all.
3) The fossil record proves completely the contrary of the
suggestions of the theory of evolution.
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 primi-
tive earth 3.8 billion years ago. How a single cell could gen-
erate 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 the the-
ory cannot answer. However, first and foremost, of the first
step of the alleged evolutionary process it has to be inquired:
How did this "first cell" originate?
Since the theory of evolution denies creation and does not
accept 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 pro-
duced a living cell as a result of coincidences. This, however,
