            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 originated on
            Earth.
               2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary
            mechanisms" proposed by the theory have any evolution-
            ary 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 on the prim-
            itive 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 fore-
            most, 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" originated coincidentally within the laws of nature,
            without any design, plan or arrangement. According to the
            theory, inanimate matter must have produced a living cell
