Bandtheory suggests that glass is transparent because of its big bandgap.That's why it can't absorb photons, thus it transmits them. But wouldn't this mean that everything else can only absorb or transmit photons, never reflect them? How is reflection explained then?

"The pretenses of the theory to correspond to an objective order of reality, applicable in an absolute sense to all species, are simply not compatible with the consequences of a thoroughly evolutionary viewpoint, which entails that the human cognitive categories that underpin the theory are purely relative and species-specific. The absolutism of random mutation and natural selection as explanative principles ends in eating the theory. With all its statements simultaneously absolute and relative, objective and subjective, generalizable and ungeneralizable, scientific and species-specific, the theory runs up on a reef of methodological incoherence."
