American project LifeNaut promotes technologically-mediated immortality and encourages to collect digital data (mindfiles) and biological material (biofiles) to prolong the life of a person after his/her death. In this paper I wonder how the procedure of gathering information brings us closer to creating a human look-alike and exceeding the mortality limits, analyzing the prototype of this idea – a humanoid robot BINA48. I invoke the concept of the uncanny valley to consider the issues of functional and external similarity of a robot and human as well as genetic determinism (in the context of Heather Dewey-Hagborg’s work), wondering how the instructions contained in the DNA can contribute to the creation of a faithful human equivalent. The arguments presented  in this paper show that the archiving and processing of digital, as well as biological, data only leads to speculation based on a set of procedures and methods. There is no double-man, but his subjective representation. In addition, projects of technologically constructed immortality contribute to the broadening/redefinition of the concept of human, but so far, they do not guarantee life without death (immortality).

PL
Michael Ruse polemizuje z poglądem, wedle którego przyjęcie darwinowskiej wizji ewolucji przekreśla możliwość bycia wierzącym chrześcijaninem. Autor przytacza zarzuty czołowych ewolucjonistów skierowane pod adresem religii chrześcijańskiej (argument z istnienia zła w świecie) i przedstawia tradycyjne odpowiedzi sformułowane w świetle filozofii św. Augustyna i Leibniza. Co najistotniejsze, autor podkreśla, że odpowiedzi na zarzuty ewolucjonistów można upatrywać w samym darwinizmie, który wyjaśnia genezę i przyczyny zła moralnego i fizycznego.

Author argues against the view that accepting the Darwinian idea of evolution precludes the possibility to be a faithful Christian. Author cites the objections of leading evolutionists to the Christian religion (argument from the existence of evil in the world) and presents traditional answers formulated in the light of the philosophy of Saint Augustine and Leibniz. Most important, author emphasizes that answers to the objections of evolutionists can be seen in Darwinism itself which explains the origin and causes of moral and physical evil.
