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
