Sumario:The article focuses on the theory of evolution of Charles Darwin. It indicates the exclusion of creativity in the mechanical theory of evolution because of the fact that creativity is intentional and that the mechanical expression shows the consciousness' antithesis making it to be dubbed as unscientific.
