Darwin invested all of his hopes in new scientific discoveries,
which he expected to solve these difficulties. However, contrary to his

expectations, scientific findings expanded the dimensions of these dif-
ficulties. The defeat of Darwinism in the face of science can be re-
viewed under three basic topics:
1) The theory cannot explain how life originated on Earth.
2) No scientific finding shows that the "evolutionary mecha-
nisms" 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 gener-
al 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, sup-
posed to have happened as a result of coincidences. How a single cell
could generate millions of complex living species and, if such an evo-
lution really occurred, why traces of it cannot be observed in the fossil
record are some of the questions that the theory cannot answer. How-

ever, first and foremost, we need to ask: How did this "first cell" orig-
inate?
Since the theory of evolution ignorantly denies Creation, it
maintains that the "first cell" originated as a product of blind coin-
cidences within the laws of nature, without any plan or arrange-
ment. According to the theory, inanimate matter must have produced
a living cell as a result of coincidences. Such a claim, however, is in-
consistent with the most unassailable rules of biology.
