74 UNAWARENESS: A SLY THREAT
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 denies creation and any
kind of supernatural intervention, it maintains that the "first
cell" originated coincidentally within the laws of nature, with-
out 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 inconsistent with
the most unassailable rules of biology.
