Conflict among evolutionists and creationists results from the ignorance of theory of evolution and from the incomprehension of rules shaping the scientific knowledge. This incomprehension is being also related to mechanisms described by evolutionists and laws, according to which the evolution of organisms is proceeding. Both positions are not harmonious with themselves not only on the level of empirical data, but above all from methodological and epistemological point of view. They are appealing to extremely different assumptions imposing research methods and interpretation of artefacts. In addition other natural sciences in the explicit way confirm theories of evolutionists. This situation causes that theory of evolution constitutes the part of the contemporary science and the creationism lays on its periphery. It can’t be change by accusation that theory of evolution is not falsified and hasn’t prognostic power. This exclude a possibility of finding common factors of both currents and at least partial approval of competitive views.
