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 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 as a result of coincidences. This, however, is a
claim inconsistent with even the most unassailable rules of biology.

"Life Comes from Life"
In his book, Darwin never referred to the origin of life. The primitive
understanding of science in his time rested on the assumption that living
beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval times, spontaneous
generation, the theory asserting 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 prove this theory.
Some wheat was placed on a dirty piece of cloth, and it was believed that
mice would originate from it after a while.
