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.

In the first part of the paper I am presenting a short introduction to the conflict between materialistic science and religious believes. The three most popular attempts to neutralize this conflict are presented as follows: (1) the acceptance of naturalistic science with all consequences concerning evolution with the exception of the God’s occasional intervention (e.g. man presented with a soul by God); (2) separation of science and religion (the concept of Non Overlapping Magisteria); (3) negation of naturalistic science in favor of particular religious believes. The introduction is followed by a short review of the history of the creationism movement from the early Paley’s arguments from design, through the dawn of biblical creationism, emergence of scientific creationism, and its recent transformation into theory of Intelligent Design. Although advocates of the latter try to distance themselves from scientific and biblical creationists and got support from few non-creationists, like quasi-religious Raelians, it is shown that this movement emerged from traditional creationism, and its core is constituted by the same religious agenda. The growing popularity of the creationistic movements is due to several factors, including early religious indoctrination, opinion making activity, lack of or poor scientific knowledge among society and in some cases contestation and bounty against the scientific establishment.

The article puts special emphasis on K. Klosak's works whose researches on works by P. Teilhard de Chardin had contributed to the popularization of de Chardin's ideas in the field of Polish philosophical and Thomistic thought. At the same time, Klosak's analytical and thorough interpretation of de Chardin's academic achievements allowed to understand the main Teilhard conceptions. An attempt at solving the problem of evolution and creation in the interdisciplinary approach of scientific research, proposed by K. Kloskowski, constitutes a further current in scientific and philosophical research of the late 20th century. The mentioned interpretations of cooperation of the First Cause and secondary causes are an attempt to understand and introduce the reader to essential rules of explaining the development of the world in that current in philosophy. Moreover, the evolutionary model of creationism can be applied to explain biogenesis, anthropogenesis, and the spiritual development of man.

Intelligent design theory claims that various phenomena of nature were designed by an intelligent being and that design is scientifically detectable. Critics claim, however, that this theory cannot be scientific because it invokes a supernatural creator, which makes it just a new variation of traditional creationism and thereby a religious position. This objection is unsound, because intelligent design theory is not identical with creationism in the traditional sense. The hallmark of this theory is metaphysical minimalism – the detection of design does not entail the identification of a designer, and this means that the designer does not have to be a supernatural being. Thus, intelligent design theory is compatible with a broad spectrum of worldviews, from theism, through deism, to atheism. Whether it can be called “creationism” depends on the meaning ascribed to this ambiguous term. However, using the term causes needless confusion and tends to discredit it out of hand. From an intellectual point of view, therefore, it is preferable not to use this term.

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.
