2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary
mechanisms" proposed by the theory have any evolutionary
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 primi-
tive Earth 3.8 billion years ago. How a single cell could gen-
erate millions of complex living species and, if such an
evolution really occurred, why traces of it cannot be ob-
served in the fossil record are some of the questions that the
theory cannot answer. However, first and foremost, we need
to ask: How did this "first cell" originate?
Since the theory of evolution ignorantly denies
Creation, it maintains that the "first cell" originated as a
product of blind coincidences within the laws of nature,
without any plan or arrangement. According to the theory,
inanimate matter must have produced a living cell as a re-
sult of coincidences. Such a claim, however, is inconsistent
with 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 struc-
