Darwin...

[Lisa & Ian Murray]

You are confusing epistemology and ontology. The distinction between
what exists and how we can know what exists. The object denoted by the
word "orange" exists independently of human cognition but the word we
use to refer to the object is a part of a social creation viz. language.
"Oranges" will fall from trees regardless of what humans think or
create, objects obey the laws of science no matter what words we use to
refer to the objects or the laws they obey.

This falls apart at both the smallest and largest scales of space-time as
well as in the study of ecosystem boundaries.  The Aristotelian-Tarskian
model of truth for scientific propositions is kapoot.
