                  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 gener-
             ate 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 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 bi-
             ology.


                  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 materials came together to form
             living organisms, had been widely accepted. It was commonly believed
             that insects came into being from food leftovers, and mice from wheat.
             Interesting experiments were conducted to prove this theory. Some wheat
             was placed on a dirty piece of cloth, and it was believed that mice would
             originate from it after a while.
                  Similarly, maggots developing in rotting meat were assumed to be
             evidence of spontaneous generation. However, it was later understood
             that worms did not appear on meat spontaneously, but were carried
             there by flies in the form of larvae, invisible to the naked eye.
