3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the theory
suggests.
In this section, we will examine these three basic points in gen-
eral 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 bil-
lion 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
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 co-
incidences within the laws of nature, without any plan or arrange-
ment. According to the theory, inanimate matter must have
produced a living cell as a result of coincidences. Such a claim, how-
ever, 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-living
materials came together to form living organisms, had been widely
accepted. It was commonly believed that insects came into being
