ferent living species on earth separately, for
he erroneously claimed that all living beings
had a common ancestor and had diversified
over time through small changes. Darwin's
theory was not based on any concrete sci-
entific finding; as he also accepted, it was
just an "assumption." Moreover, as Darwin
confessed in the long chapter of his book
titled "Difficulties on Theory," the theory
failed in the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new

scientific discoveries, which he expected to
solve these difficulties. However, contrary to his expectations, scientific
findings expanded the dimensions of these difficulties. The defeat of
Darwinism in the face of science can be reviewed under three basic top-
ics:
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 evolutionary power at all.
3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory sug-
gests.
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 Earth 3.8 billion years ago, supposed
to have happened as a result of coincidences. 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 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 main-
