Naivety of Darwinism:
The Evolution Theory, instigated by Lamarque and developed by Darwin, postulates a simplified and reductionalist explication of the mechanism of the evolution of animals in view of a precise finality decided individually by every proper species. The Darwinian idea of, ‘survival of the fittest’ is the key of the evolution of life: before it became a theory of evolution, Darwinism constituted a theory of adaptation, i.e. the capacity of organic structures to be preserved and to be diffused in an environment determined by the tendency of reproduction. For Darwin, the natural selection is above all and fundamentally is a producer mechanism of adaptation; its functioning supposes that it exists a population of organisms presenting different aptitudes to the reproduction; aptitudes that vary according to the characteristics transmitted by hereditary. The principle contribution of the Darwinian Theory of natural selection was to reply to the problem that Newton formula has posed in the twenty-eighth question of his perspective: ‘how come the bodies of animals are designed with such an art and for what purpose all were their different parts made?’
Apart from the absence of proof for motivation, of control and of design in the theory of Evolution, it does not explain the origin or the presence of phenomena, not less than the driving-engine of the process of change (evolution).
Apart from lack of proof for decisive links among species, the theory of natural selection does not
