Darwin’s Theory of Biological Evolution Seen From the Point of View of Modern Physics
Streszczenie
This paper aims to show the influence of 20th century quantum
mechanics and the theory of relativity on the philosophical problems of
Darwin’s theory of biological evolution. Evolution as a non-relativistic
being can be attributed only to the process as a whole. Quantum
mechanics and the theory of relativity are not compatible with the
evolution process of separate elements of the system. It seems to be in
contradiction to Darwin’s theory of evolution as a slow and gradual
process of separate elements in the biological system. According to
many scientists and philosophers of science the Darwin’s theory does
not explain the whole Universe evolution as well as does not explain the
origin of life. Explanation of events and processes, reliance on concepts
not laws, refutation of typology by Darwin theory of evolution are not
established by standards of scientific reasoning. Many scientific facts
from modern physics indicate that Darwin’s theory of evolution is in
crisis.
