ETERNITY HAS ALREADY BEGUN

lished in 1859. In this book, he opposed, in
his own eyes, the fact that Allah created dif-
ferent living species on Earth separately, for
he erroneously claimed that all living beings
had a common ancestor and had diversified
over time through small changes. Darwin's
theory was not based on any concrete sci-
entific finding; as he also accepted, it was
just an "assumption." Moreover, as Darwin
confessed in the long chapter of his book ti- Charles Darwin
tled "Difficulties on Theory," the theory
failed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discoveries,
which he expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary to
his expectations, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of
these difficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can
be reviewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mecha-
nisms" proposed by the theory have any evolutionary 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 gener-
al 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 primitive Earth 3.8 bil-
lion 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 foremost, we
need to ask: How did this "first cell" originate?
