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 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, of the first step of the alleged evolutionary process it has
to be inquired: 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 even the most unassailable rules of biology.
