[Taxacom] The scientific power of the method

[Antonio López Almirall]

The earth is a liquid sphere, the greater volume of which is occupied by 
magma and perhaps water.That sphere has two solid portions, the core and the 
crust, although a gaseous portion, the atmosphere, may be included.According 
to those with geodesic principles, that rotating sphere is in dynamic 
equilibrium.
 The evolutionary pattern of the inert components of the planet is 
helical.Of this type of evolution, among the most representative examples we 
can name: pangea I and II, volcanoes, earthquakes, climatic changes, changes 
in the position of the magnetic axis, etc.Many modern philosophical schools 
consider this pattern as the general model in evolution.
 The evolutionary pattern of living beings is said to be dichotomous, but 
life as such is dependent on variations in inert components.This means that 
the evolutionary scheme of planetary, inert and living components can be 
expressed graphically in a single image as a set of helices in whose turns 
the phylogenetic trees are entangled.
 At present, biogeography, a science in charge of studying the joint 
evolution of living and inorganic portions on the planet, generally uses the 
inverse model in its explanations.Dichotomous trees at the ends of which are 
inert portions of the planet.For that reason I would like to know if anyone 
knows a conceptual basis on which to base these schemes?
 If this conceptual basis does not exist, it may happen that most of the 
current inferences have at their basis a completely empirical conception 
since, based on the method, considered efficient, the inferences are based.
