104 DEEP THINKING

Darwin invested all of his hopes in new sci-
entific 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 origi-
nated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evo-
lutionary mechanisms" proposed by the theory
have any evolutionary power at all.
Charles Darwin 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 out-
lines:
The First Insurmountable Step:

The Origin of Life
The theory of evolution posits that all living species evolved from a sin-
gle 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 main-
tains 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 unassail-
able 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
beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval times, spontaneous gen-
eration, which asserts that non-living materials came together to form living
organisms, had been widely accepted. It was commonly believed that
insects came into being from food leftovers, and mice from wheat. Interest-
