The Deception Of Evolution

               trary to his expectations, scientific findings expanded the dimen-
               sions of these difficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in the face of
               science can be reviewed under three basic topics:

                    1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
                    2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mech-
               anisms" 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 primitive

               Earth 3.8 billion years ago. How a single cell could generate
               millions of complex living species and, if such an evolution re-
               ally occurred, why traces of it cannot be observed in the fossil

               record are some of the questions that the theory cannot an-
               swer. However, first and foremost, we need to ask: How did
               this "first cell" originate?
                    Since the theory of evolution denies creation and any

               kind of supernatural intervention, it maintains that the "first
               cell" originated coincidentally within the laws of nature, with-
               out any design, plan or arrangement. According to the theory,

               inanimate matter must have produced a living cell as a result
