had diversified over time through small changes.
Darwin's theory was not based on any concrete
scientific finding; as he also accepted, it was just
an "assumption." Moreover, as Darwin con-
fessed in the long chapter of his book titled
"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
Charles Darwin 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" pro-
posed by the theory have any evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory sug-
gests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in general out-
lines:
The First Insurmountable Step: The Origin of Life
The theory of evolution posits that all living species evolved from a sin-
gle living cell that emerged on the primitive Earth 3.8 billion 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" orig-
inate?
Since the theory of evolution denies creation and any kind of supernat-
ural intervention, it maintains that the "first cell" originated coincidentally
