The Evolution Deception

lion 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 the

theory cannot answer. However, first and foremost, we need to ask
with regard to the first step in this alleged evolutionary process: How
did this "first cell" originate?
Since the theory of evolution denies creation and does not

accept 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.
This, however, is a claim inconsistent with the most unassailable rules
of biology.

"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 assump-
tion that living beings had a very simple structure. Since medieval
times, spontaneous generation, the theory asserting that non-living

materials came together to form living organisms, had been widely ac-
cepted. It was commonly believed that insects came into being from
food leftovers, and mice from wheat. Interesting experiments were

conducted to prove this theory. Some wheat was placed on a dirty
piece of cloth, and it was believed that mice would originate from it
after a while.
Similarly, worms developing in meat was assumed to be ev-

idence of spontaneous generation. However, only some time later was
it understood that worms did not appear on meat spontaneously, but
