have been found in the fossil record, are questions that the theory has be-
en unable to explain. But before all that, we must stop at the first step of
this alleged period of evolution. How did this alleged "first cell" come
about?
Because the theory of evolution rejects creation and accepts no super-
natural intervention, it claims that that "first cell" came about, with no
structure, plan, or order, by coincidence within the laws of nature. In other
words, according to the theory, non-living matter must have produced a
living cell as a result of coincidences. Yet this is a claim which flies in the
face of the most basic known biological laws.
"Life Comes From Life"
Darwin did not mention the subject of the origin of life in his book.
Because of the primitive scientific understanding of his day, he assumed
that living things possessed a very simple structure. According to the the-
ory called "spontaneous generation," which had been believed in since the
Middle Ages, it was believed that non-living substances could come to-
gether by chance and form a living creature. At that time it was a common
belief that insects were formed by leftover food and mice from wheat. In-
teresting experiments were done to try and prove it. A little wheat was
spread over a dirty rag, and it was thought that after waiting for a bit mi-
ce would emerge from the combination.
Meat becoming maggot-ridden was counted as proof that life could
emerge from non-living substances. Whereas it was later understood that
maggots did not emerge by themselves from the surface of meat, but that
they emerged from larva, smaller than the eye can see, which flies brought
and left there.
At the time when Darwin wrote The Origin of Species, the belief that
bacteria could emerge from inorganic matter saw wide acceptance in the
world of science.
Whereas five years after the publication of Darwin's book, the famo-
us French biologist Louis Pasteur definitively destroyed this belief, which
