Teistički evolcionizam / Theistic evolutionism

Abstract

Theistic evolutionism appears in several versions and each of them is evidently incomplete and, to a significant extent, internally ambivalent. Versions of theistic evolutionism arose on the ground of different understandings of God, creation, and evolution. This work deals with one of the two main versions of theistic evolutionism, namely the theistic evolutionism of scientists and thinkers, which has its most concrete appearance in Francis Collins’ BioLogos. This version sometimes appears in the form of deism (deistic evolutionism). Its dominant feature is apparent inclination to Darwin, but also to the tradition of evolutionism which preserves a positive attitude towards religion and the idea of God.
