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
