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
mechanisms" 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
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 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
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?
Since the theory of evolution ignorantly denies creation, it
maintains that the "first cell" originated as a product of blind
coincidences within the laws of nature, without any plan or
arrangement. According to the theory, inanimate matter must
have produced a living cell as a result of coincidences. Such a
