                           A ADNAN OKTAR (HARUN YAHYA)

                 Darwin’s theory was not based on any concrete scientific find-
             ing; as he also accepted, it was just an “assumption”. Moreover, as
             Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book titled, “Difficulties
             on Theory,” the theory failed in the face of many critical questions.
                 Darwin invested all his hopes in new scientific discoveries, which
             he expected would solve these difficulties. He indicated this expecta-
             tion again and again in his book. However, contrary to his expecta-
             tions, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these difficulties
             and refuted the basic assumptions of the theory one by one.
                 The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed
             under three basic headings:
                 1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
                 2) There is no scientific finding that indicates 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 haphazardly on Earth 3.8 billion years
             ago, supposedly having appeared as a result of coincidences. How a
             cell comprising a wide range of organelles such as vacuoles, mito-
             chondria, lysosomes and Golgi apparatus could come into existence in
             a puddle of mud, how a single cell could generate millions of com-
             plex 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,
