The Origin of Life
The theory of evolution posits that all living species

millions of complex living species and, if such an evolu-
tion really occurred, why traces of it cannot be observed
in the fossil record are some of the questions that the the-
ory 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 liv-
ing cell as a result of coincidences. Such a claim, howev-

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 gen-
eration, which asserts that non-living materials came
together to form living organisms, had been widely
