The Science of Evolution

All knowledge creation depends on and physically consists of emergent phenomena. Emergence is also responsible for the fact that discoveries can be made in successive steps, thus providing scope for the scientific method. The partial success of each theory in a sequence of improving theories is tantamount to the existence of a layer of phenomena that each theory explains successfully. Though, as it then turns out, partly mistakenly. Successive scientific explanations are occasionally dissimilar in the way they explain their predictions,. Even in the domain where the predictions themselves are similarly or identical. For instance, einstein's explanation of planetary motion does not merely correct newton's. And so one cannot regard those successive explanations as constituting a growth of
