Darwin, who was not a philosopher, today happens to be someone who has contributed significantly to the philosophy. Darwin was not an experimental biologist, is considered the father of biology. Nothing more absurd. Strictly speaking, studying biology aspects of life that can be subjected to experimentation. To answer the question: How are living things, how to work, how their characters are inherited?. In the task, the scientific method and experimental (A) serves to distinguish the true from the doubtful, of the hypothetical. For decades, new results were obtained and often unexpected. DNA is the hereditary material. Right. Biology has shown unequivocally thus ending, or at least providing the means to overcome the traditional habits of patient observation of nature that occupied naturalists for centuries, but concluded that no ambiguity. The scientific method seeks to find certainty. However much you see and you think, only accept as true what I can, for me to repeat experiments. It has already provided sufficient evidence and results to return all data from natural history and paleontology and try a new theoretical description of life (B). The accumulation of results and data has occurred in record time and has not yet integrated into the original knowledge system and its revolutionary new claims. In biology, the basic starting point has to be necessarily and experimental (A). Biology is the science that provides a description of life (B) based on the scientific method (A). Part of A to B, and if the work is done in the opposite direction, then it is biology, not only biology but not next to fail, to interrupt the discourse of biology. Classical biology forged over the second half of the twentieth century has largely followed the wrong path. It has been forged from the beginning, outdated theories and concepts; obsolete molds which have adapted the experimental results. The lack of a basis consistent with the results has led to putting the cart in front of the donkey, on a temporary situation, which must now be corrected. For all disciplines whose work is based on observation and experimentation are not peripheral in biology today. Dobzhansky's famous phrase, one now needs urgently to be turned just now turned into: "In evolution nothing is meaningless unless it is seen through the prism of biology." The new biology is the experimental science powerful and dominant in our time. May be subjected to speculative theories about evolution, but has to be the opposite. Their results have set the tone for every opinion about evolution. The mechanisms of evolution involve elements of biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology are now trying to describe. The definition of viruses, transposons, many catalytic RNAs, and the possible involvement of these elements in epigenetic processes, polyploidization, genome rearrangements, gene silencing, etc. Some of the tasks in dealing with modern biology. Any evolutionary theory should include the participation of these elements and will have to propose their participation in processes and mechanisms that must be carefully analyzed. Ambitious generalizations will not always much, but if they dogmatic, should be fully rejected.
