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
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 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
maintains that the "first cell" originated as a product of blind
coincidences 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
assumption that living beings had a very simple structure. Since
medieval times, spontaneous generation, which asserts that non-living
