                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 the primi-
                tive Earth 3.8 billion years ago. How a single cell could gen-
                erate 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 can-
                not 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,
