                 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 billion years
            ago. How a single cell could generate millions of complex living spe-
            cies 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 the-
            ory cannot answer. However, first and foremost, we need to ask: How

            did this "first cell" originate?
                 Since the theory of evolution denies creation and any kind of su-
            pernatural intervention, it maintains that the "first cell" originated co-
            incidentally within the laws of nature, without any design, plan or ar-
            rangement. According to the theory, inanimate matter must have pro-
            duced 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"

                 In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The prim-
            itive understanding of science in his time rested on the assumption
            that living beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval 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 into being from food leftovers,
            and mice from wheat. Interesting experiments were conducted to
            prove this theory. Some wheat was placed on a dirty piece of cloth, and
