134 THE DEBASED CULTURE OF SUPERFICIALITY
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 primi-
tive Earth 3.8 billion years ago. How a single cell could gen-
erate millions of complex living species and, if such an evo-
lution 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 denies creation and any
kind of supernatural intervention, it maintains that the “first
cell” originated coincidentally within the laws of nature,
without any design, 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 inconsis-
tent 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
