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 ob-
served in the fossil record are some of the questions that the theo-
ry 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 co-
incidences within the laws of nature, without any plan or

arrangement. According to the theory, inanimate matter must
have produced a living cell as a result 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 as-

sumption that living beings had a very simple structure. Since me-
dieval times, spontaneous generation, which asserts that non-liv-
ing 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 ex-
periments were conducted to prove this theory. Some wheat was

placed on a dirty piece of cloth, and it was believed that mice
