76 SLANDERS ON MUSLIMS IN HISTORY

Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific dis-
coveries, which he expected to solve these difficulties.
However, contrary to his expectations, scientific find-
ings 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 evolu-
tionary 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
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: H How did this "first cell"
originate?
Since the theory of evolution ignorantly denies
Creation, it maintains that the "first cell" originated as a
