A HISTORICAL LIE: THE STONE AGE
Darwin confessed in the long chapter of his book titled "Difficulties
on Theory," the theory failed in the face of many critical questions.
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 the-
se 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 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 gene-
ral 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 billi-
on years ago. How a single cell could generate millions of complex
living species and, if such an evolution really occurred, 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 denies creation and any kind of
supernatural intervention, it maintains that the "first cell" originated
coincidentally within the laws of nature, without any design, plan or
arrangement. According to the theory, inanimate matter must have
produced a living cell as a result of coincidences. Such a claim, ho-
wever, is inconsistent with the most unassailable rules of biology.
