The Evolution Misconception

Moreover, as Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book
titled "Difficulties of the Theory," the theory was failing in the
face of many critical questions.
Darwin invested all his hopes in new scientific discoveries,
which he expected to solve the "Difficulties of the Theory."
However, contrary to his expectations, scientific findings ex-
panded the dimensions of these difficulties.
The defeat of Darwinism against science can be reviewed
under three basic topics:
1) The theory can by no means explain how life originated on
the earth.
2) There is no scientific finding showing that the "evolution-
ary mechanisms" proposed by the theory have any power to
evolve at all.
3) The fossil record proves completely the contrary of the
suggestions of the theory of evolution.
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 the primitive earth 3.8
billion years ago. 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 the theory cannot answer. However,
first and foremost, of the first step of the alleged evolutionary
process it has to be inquired: How did this "first cell" originate?
