The article challenges the view that the Neo-Darwinian theory of evolutionis sufficient to explain the ongoing evolution. The classical evolutionary algorithmsbased on that theory suffer from the loss of diversity, stagnation andpremature convergence. The author claims that the cosmetic changes of thosetools are not sufficient to overcome this situation and the change of overall theoreticalframework is required. The proposition of a semiotic theory of evolutioncreated by Charles Sanders Peirce is revealed as an alternative to the classicalModern Synthesis. This alternative model of evolution is implemented intwo kinds of evolutionary algorithms: P-EA and SEAM, which simulate evolutionby virtue of cooperation and symbiosis respectively. The new approach toalgorithms constructs shows significant benefits upon classical evolutionaryalgorithms in benchmark tests, which may support the original claim that theaccepted theory of evolution needs rethinking today.

In the course of the 20th century the so-called Modern Synthesis of Neo-Darwinism has become the dominant paradigm in modern biology. First, it is explained how and why Darwin’s broad definition of evolution, in which the environment plays an important role, was narrowed down by Neo-Darwinism to a radical gene-centric view. Next, the paradigm shift taking place today in ‘postgenomic’ evolutionary biology and genetics is discussed. It is argued that this shift opens the way to a more humane conception of evolution, more in line with Darwin’s view. Finally, I will discuss some of the implications of this paradigm shift for human self-reflection, taking The Music of Life. Biology Beyond Genes of systems biologist Denis Noble as a starting point.

This article is an attempt to present modern scientific theories talking about the creation of plural forms of life on Earth. Moreover, this paper presents theological evaluation of these theories. This piece of working presents following theories of evolution: Darwinism and neo-Darwinism; concept of stasis; Evolutionary Development; and Intelligent Design. The additional goal of this article is to exhibit that at the current stage of research anthropogenesis any conception of the origin of man is proved without doubts. This paper shows also arguments why many modern theories of evolution cannot be approved from the theological point of view.

Niniejszy artykuł jest próbą przedstawienia współczesnych teorii naukowych mówiących o sposobie powstania wielobarwności form życia na Ziemi wraz z ich oceną teologiczną. Wprzedłożeniu zostały zaprezentowane następujące teorie ewolucji: darwinizm i neodarwinizm; koncepcja stazy; Evolutionary Development oraz Intelligent Design. W toku analiz zostały przybliżone czytelnikowi podstawowe założenia poszczególnych koncepcji przyrodniczych wraz z ich krytyczną oceną zarówno w świetle nauk przyrodniczych jak i z punktu widzenia teologii oraz filozofii chrześcijańskiej. Celem tego artykułu jest ponadto uświadomienie czytelnikowi, że na obecnym etapie badań nad antropogenezą nie ma jednej, niebudzącej większych zastrzeżeń, koncepcji powstania człowieka; a także i to, że wiele współczesnych teorii przyrodniczych budzi poważne zastrzeżenia z teologicznego punktu widzenia.

Order and change in nature have been for a long time understood in philosophy and theology as founded in divine reason. In the neo-Darwinist theory of evolution, their explanation is reduced to material change without reason. Molecular biologists like M. Behe and W. Demski argue that any reductionist explanation of living beings must be wrong. The evolution of irreducible complex structures is impossible on the basis of random variation and natural selection alone, and must be the result of intelligent design. The article argues that ID-theory, unlike Biblical Creationism, is a challenge for neo-Darwinism and for modern theology as well—for, unlike the Roman magisterium, many Catholic theologians try to harmonize reductive explanation with the notion of creation.
