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.

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
