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 gen-
eral 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 Earth 3.8 billion years
ago, supposed to have happened as a result of coincidences. How
a single cell could generate 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 that the theory
cannot answer. However, first and foremost, 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 coin-
cidences within the laws of nature, without any plan or arrange-
ment. According to the theory, inanimate matter must have
produced a living cell as a result of coincidences. Such a claim, how-
ever, is inconsistent with the most unassailable rules of biology.
"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-living materials came together to form living organisms, had
been widely accepted. It was commonly believed that insects came
