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 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 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 ques-
tions that the theory cannot answer. However, first and fore-
most, 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 incon-
sistent with the most unassailable rules of biology.
