                 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
