finding; as he also accepted, it was just an "assumption."
Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his
book titled "Difficulties on Theory," the theory failed in
the face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific dis-
coveries, which he expected to solve these difficulties.
However, contrary to his expectations, scientific findings ex-
panded the dimensions 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
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 oc-
curred, 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 ignorantly denies
Creation, it maintains that the "first cell" originated as a
