ry failed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific dis-
coveries, 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 Charles Darwin
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 sin-
gle cell could generate 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" origi-
nate?
Since the theory of evolution denies creation
and any kind of supernatural intervention, it
maintains that the "first cell" originated coinci-
dentally 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 inconsistent with the most
unassailable rules of biology.

In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of
life. The primitive understanding of science in his time rested on the assump-
tion that living beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval times, spon-
