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
               Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed
               under three basic topics:

                    1) The theory cannot explain how life
               originated on Earth.
                                                                         Charles Darwin
                    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 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" 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.


                    "Life Comes From Life"

                    In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The primitive
               understanding of science in his time rested on the assumption that living
