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 oc-
curred, why traces of it cannot be observed in the fossil
record are some of the questions that the theory cannot an-
swer. 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 claim, however, is inconsistent with
the most unassailable rules of biology.
