Questioning Darwin-Malthusian Hypothesis: Extended Critics to Darwin’s Evolutionary Process of History (Updated)

Authors: Victor Christianto, Florentin Smarandache

As Rev. John Polkinghorne, the late professor of mathematical physics and priest, wrote:"The idea of a ready-made world was replaced by that of a creation so endowed by its Creatorwith potentiality that creatures could be allowed ‘to make themselves’ (Charles Kingsley)through the explorations of evolutionary process. The history of the world is to be understood as an unfolding act of continuous creation. Such a creation is a great good, but it has an inescapable shadow side for evolution results not only in great fertility but also in blind alleys and extinctions. Genetic mutation produces both new life forms and also malignancy, and one cannot have the one without the other. Theology can find here some help from science as it wrestles with the perplexities of natural evil and suffering." (cf. Polkinghorne, The University of Edinburgh, 2009). Notably several scholars have come up with differentarguments to criticize Darwin’s evolution theory, for instance Ernst Cassirer Vern Poythress with Interpreting Eden, and Jaroslav Flegr, with his book Frozen evolution, that is not the way it is, mr Darwin. The present review is intended to bring more arguments in particular from recent development of low-temperature physics and its connection to cosmology.

The Origin of Life as Life Being the Most Involved with Fundamental Physics

Authors: Alexis Zaganidis
Comments: 5 Pages.

The origin of life can been seen as the first original anti-entropic engine with respect to a pressure-temperature reference. Therefore, under that theoretical paradigm, the chemolithoautotrophic bacteria are the best candidates by far for the origin of life. To have a more detailed description of the the origin of life, we consider the concept of "fungal catastrophe" from nuclear-biology and we also consider the many-worlds interpretation (MWI) with an almost infinitely large number of quantum parallel universes. In the present article, we will use many times the shorter designation "anti-entropic engine" instead of the longer designation "anti-entropic engine with respect to a pressure-temperature reference".
