The most obvious result of the Darwinian enterprise is that we have entered a global evolutionary view of the world. It is not only the case in the living world. Even matter in the so-called “inert” sense of the word is seen to be in the process of becoming. Evolutionary biology is akin to Big Bang cosmology. These two major theories of contemporary science are more “historical” than “physical”. To a certain extent they escape the traditional criteria of scientific proceeding. They cannot be falsified by repeatable experiments for the simple reason that repetition does not occur in history. History is a process that brings something new in time. In this respect Darwinism has not only...
