The Deception Of Evolution

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 single cell could generate millions of complex living
species and, if such an evolution really occurred, why traces of it can-

not 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 su-
pernatural intervention, it maintains that the "first cell" originated co-
incidentally 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, how-
ever, is inconsistent with the most unassailable rules of biology.

"Life Comes From Life"

In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The primi-
tive understanding of science in his time rested on the assumption
that living beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval 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
