                   The theory of evolution posits that all living species evolved
               from a single living cell that emerged on the primitive Earth 3.8 bil-
               lion 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” originat-
               ed 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 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 as-
               sumption that living beings had a very simple structure. Since me-
               dieval times, spontaneous generation, 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. Interesting experiments
               were conducted to prove this theory. Some wheat was placed on a
               dirty piece of cloth, and it was believed that mice would originate
               from it after a while.
