No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated
spontaneously as a result of blind coincidences, then it has to
be accepted that life was created. This fact explicitly invali-
dates the theory of evolution, whose main purpose is to deny
Creation.

Imaginary Mechanism of Evolution

The second important point that negates Darwin's theory
is that both concepts put forward by the theory as "evolu-
tionary mechanisms" were understood to have, in reality, no
evolutionary power.
Darwin based his evolution allegation entirely on the
mechanism of "natural selection." The importance he placed
on this mechanism was evident in the name of his book: The
Origin of Species, By Means of Natural Selection…
Natural selection holds that those living things that are
stronger and more suited to the natural conditions of their
habitats will survive in the struggle for life. For example, in
a deer herd under the threat of attack by wild animals, those
that can run faster will survive. Therefore, the deer herd will
be comprised of faster and stronger individuals. However,
unquestionably, this mechanism will not cause deer to
evolve and transform themselves into another living species,
for instance, horses.
Therefore, the mechanism of natural selection has no
evolutionary power. Darwin was also aware of this fact and
had to state this in his book The Origin of Species:
Natural selection can do nothing until favourable individual
differences or variations occur. 7
