                                 The Evolution Misconception

              in the face of many critical questions.
                  Darwin invested all his hopes in new scientific
              discoveries, which he expected to solve the "Difficulties of
              the Theory." However, contrary to his expectations, scientific
              findings expanded the dimensions of these difficulties.
                  The defeat of Darwinism against science can be reviewed
              under three basic topics:

                  1) The theory can by no means explain how life
              originated on the earth.
                  2) There is no scientific finding showing that the
              "evolutionary mechanisms" proposed by the theory have any
              power to evolve at all.
                  3) The fossil record proves completely the contrary of the
              suggestions of the theory 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 cannot be
              observed in the fossil record are some of the questions the
              theory cannot answer. However, first and foremost, of the
              first step of the alleged evolutionary process it has to be
              inquired: How did this "first cell" originate?
                  Since the theory of evolution denies creation and does not
              accept any kind of supernatural intervention, it maintains
