It is extremely improbable that proteins and nucleic acids, both


                        of which are structurally complex, arose spontaneously in the

                        same place at the same time.  Yet it also seems impossible to


                        have one without the other.  And so, at first glance, one might


                        have to conclude that life could never, in fact, have originated by

                        chemical means.       133



                        No doubt, if it is impossible for life to have originated from

                 "natural" causes, then it has to be accepted that life was "created" in a


                 supernatural way.  This fact explicitly invalidates the theory of

                 evolution, whose purpose is to deny creation.






                 Imaginary Mechanisms of Evolution





                        The second important point that negates Darwin's theory is that both

                 concepts put forward by the theory as "evolutionary mechanisms" were not


                 understood to have, in reality, any evolutionary power.  Darwin based his

                 evolution allegation entirely on the mechanism of "natural selection."  The

                 importance he placed on this mechanism was evident in the title of his book:


                 The Origin of Species by Means Of Natural Selection.


                        Natural selection holds that those living things that are stronger


                 and more suited to the natural conditions of their habitats will survive
