The author argues that Plantinga's Proper Function and Evolutionary arguments fail against liberal naturalism defined in a broad sense as the view that 'here aren't any supernatural beings'. The former argument can be interpreted in at least three ways: deductively, inductively and theistically. None of these, however, is successful. The latter argument suffers from several deficiencies of which two major ones are: (1) The unlikelihood of the reliability of our cognitive faculties, given (liberal) naturalism and (varieties of) evolutionism, is not shown. (2) Agnosticism with respect to the likelihood of our cognitive reliability is insufficient to establish the self-defeating character of naturalistic evolutionism, unless it is also shown that the belief in this reliability lacks an independent warrant. The last condition has been neglected by Plantinga.

In the context of discussions on teaching evolution in USA the author is going to present the incompatibility of ideological implications of evolutionism with worldview neutrality of American public educational system, which is postulated in American constitutional ideal of state-church separation. He demonstrates that the theory of evolution has implications according to worldview because it answers on questions that are basic in every culture - questions of origins of life and human kind. He also demonstrates that reality and the constitutional ideal are inconsistent because the ideal is based on false, neopositivist concept of science. The author claims that philosophical assumptions of methodological and metaphysical naturalism are very important in contemporary science and evolution especially. He refers to contemporary philosophy of science to justify claim that philosophical influences on the content of scientific theories is quite natural. Yet, some American creationists still finds the relationship of science and philosophy as inappropriate. Some scientists, who claim that the theory of evolution is neural according to worldview, also believe in purely empirical picture of science. The simplified vision of science is a basis for courts decisions on teaching evolution and excluding creationist concepts from public schools. He agrees with Laudan that excluding creationists concepts from school curricula can be based on the inadequacy of empirical content of the theories. The author finds the courts argument on religious commitment of only creationists ideas and neutrality of evolution as unjustified.

Among early research interests of prof. Józef M. Dołęga there is a problem of creationism and evolutionism. The discourse on the problem has been carried mostly within neothomistic philosophers who were trying to find a right interpretation of research results, philosophical theory and theological truths. Prof. Dołęga in his works presents the evolutional model of creationism that was discussed in Polish philosophy in 1960 and 1970. He mainly focuses on the concept of Kazimierz Kłósak, Karl Rehner, Antonin-Dalmace Sertillanges, Pierre Teilharda de Chardin, Claude Tresmontant, Leon Wciórka and Mieczysław Gogacz. The paper presents the most important aspects of Dołęga’s analyzes of evolutionism-creationism discource.

The Paper shows the scientific views of Benedykt Dybowski based on his inaugural speech delivered in 1885, at The University of L'viv. It was a time of a stormy reception of the Darwin's theory of evolution, which was often considered as contradictory to the common view of man's place in universe, given mostly by religious and philosophical concepts. In that context, Dybowski as a well-known zoologist laid content of Darwin's idea in comparison with history of science. He pointed out some resemblance between the development of cosmogony and zoology, showing theory of evolution as a result of earlier evolutionary ideas and crystallization of the scientific method. Dybowski called for naturalism and eliminating all kind of supernatural factors in science, and world's phenomenon explanations, renouncing essentialism. As Dybowski was a great admirer of Darwin's theory, he was a science enthusiast as well, regarding it as a kind of an assignment and a vocation.

Karl Popper, apart from being an epistemologist and methodologist of science, is a cosmologic methaphysicist. A basic idea of his cosmology is the idea of indeterminism, which he encounters to determinism of the logical empirism. Indeterminism is implicit in the theory of growth in the scientific knowledge, resting on the principle of falsification and, hence, allowing for a possibility of denial of the knowledge system in any moment of time. K.Popper builds his cosmological model by postulating emergentism and evolutionism, overcoming in this way the classical perception of the world as a causality-driven mechanism. The emergent cosmology with its indeterminism rests on the very productive hypothesis on the reality of the world of predispositions. By introducing the notion of predisposition, K.Popper could explain the world as a formation associated with the appearance of new qualities. The analysis covers cosmologic metaphysics of K.Popper, which postulates indeterminism in ontologically significant world of predispositions, the appearance of probability approach and the nature of the probability style of thinking in various domains of science, and ways the outlined probability (nonlinear, poly-variant) stereotype of thinking is applied to philosophy. The analysis is made with abundant references to K.Popper's works.
