               2) There is no scientific finding showing that the "evolutionary
              mechanisms" proposed by the theory have any power to evolve at all.
               3) The fossil record proves completely the contrary of the sugges-
              tions of the theory of evolution.
               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 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 can-
              not be observed in the fossil record are some of the questions the the-
              ory cannot answer. However, first and foremost, of the first step of the
              alleged evolutionary process it has to be inquired: How did this "first
              cell" originate?
               Since the theory of evolution denies creation and does not accept
              any kind of supernatural intervention, it maintains that the "first cell"
              originated coincidentally within the laws of nature, without any de-
              sign, plan, or arrangement. According to the theory, inanimate matter
              must have produced a living cell as a result of coincidences. This,
              however, is a claim inconsistent with even the most unassailable rules
              of biology.


               "Life Comes from Life"
               In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The primi-
              tive understanding of science in his time rested on the assumption
              that living beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval times,
              spontaneous generation, the theory asserting that non-living materi-
              als came together to form living organisms, had been widely ac-
              cepted. It was commonly believed that insects came into being from
              food leftovers, and mice from wheat. Interesting experiments were
