Darwinian theory's survival of fittest is a strong and valid argument but when it is taken to the extreme i.e spevuies develop by trial and error even emerge functioning traits by luck, that is random mutations that "get selected" is far streched if one understand that extreme empirical logic is endorsed.
Empirical logic draws from the functionality in practice of an ideaie chicken foot are shape such way to support walking based on successful empirical tests that survived chicken beared as opposed to non function ing models.
While feedback between genes and environment exist and aids development and survival of species, empirical lohic is just one of possible logics and syllogistic or inferential processes and has limits and weaknesses.
Basing such a big claim of a syllogistic approach (empirical truth) which is, by some, peripheral and non central in its role in general syllogism (or highly limited), might pose problems to the theory in that it omits essential stage of inference and jumps to conclusions based just on empirical logic leaps .
