3) The fossil record proves the exact opposite of what the the-
ory 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 as-
sumption that living beings had a very simple structure. Since
medieval 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
